Air pollution causes ‘huge’ reduction in intelligence: study
It is interesting to me that they use years of education as a measure of intelligence.  As an American I am more used to thinking of intelligence as an innate, almost fixed characteristic (IQ).  In that view education increases knowledge and skills but isn't expected to much affect general intelligence.<p>But to this article's authors, "intelligence" is increased by education, so harmful effects of pollution can be measured in years of education lost.<p>Is there a general cultural difference in how intelligence is thought of in China as opposed to the US?
