Perils for Pedestrians Episode 89

A new study by the Environmental Protection Agency compared the air pollution associated with schools on the suburban fringe with that of schools within neighborhoods. On the fringe, more students are driven, and average driving distances are longer. As a result, "sprawl" schools create twice as much air pollution per student as neighborhood schools.
