A new study in the journal Science of the Total Environment found that emissions from onroad vehicles cause 342 premature deaths annually in Greater Boston. Nearly 90 percent of these deaths are linked to elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide in the region. The majority of these health damages were linked to emissions from light-duty trucks, such as SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and minivans. SUVs have ranked in recent years the most popular car among residents in the Bay State.
Breastfeeding can be a challenge for many new moms, regardless of where they live. However, a new study from the University of Missouri highlights a unique struggle faced by mothers in rural America: a lack of access to support systems and information. As a result, rural moms are more likely to stop breastfeeding within the first few days or weeks compared to their urban and suburban counterparts.
Like all new mothers, women in rural areas want to ensure their babies are getting enough nourishment — but without proper guidance on breastfeeding best practices, it can be difficult to gauge.
