Dyscalculia: News from the web:

We have only seen the abstract so we don’t have all the details but we are happy that there was a study to see if air quality and dyscalculia are connected. Well here is what the researchers conclude,

We report associations suggesting a potential link between air pollution exposure and hyperactivity/inattention scores, although these findings require replication.

So it does not sound that they found a valid correlation with dyscalculia.

New research challenges the dominant theory that we are born with a sense of numbers and combines this insight with a theory based on size;

The researchers argue that understanding the relationship between size and number is what’s critical for the development of higher math abilities. By combining number and size (e.g., area, density, and perimeter), we can make faster and more efficient decisions.

Research by Tanya Evans and Michael Ulmann state in their article:

Mathematical disability (MD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting math abilities. Here, we propose a new explanatory account of MD, the procedural deficit hypothesis (PDH), which may further our understanding of the disorder.
