Trine Flensborg-Madsen

Childhood Environment and Cognition (CHENCO) study

Professor
University of Copenhagen

Professor Trine Flensborg-Madsen's project, based on a cohort consisting of 1.1 million Danish children, aims to generate new knowledge about the cognitive consequences of air pollution and traffic noise.

She will investigate whether air pollution and traffic noise in childhood affect school performance and intelligence. Including whether there are periods when children are more susceptible to the potential effects, and whether there are particularly vulnerable groups.
