šŸ«Air Pollution and Children’s Health- November ZWTF

November 13 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Nothing is scarier than air pollution and the harm is poses to our kids. The countyā€™s trash incinerator in Peekskill is THE LARGEST industrial air polluter in the Westchester County!

Do you have questions about how air pollution may be impacting your childrenā€™s health? Join our November Zero Waste Task Force meeting at 7:30pm, Wednesday November 13th on Zoom.*

We will be joined by guest speaker pediatric pulmonologist Dr. Amy Brown to help answer questions like: Is it safe for my child to play sports today? Why are asthma rates so high? Where is air pollution coming from, both indoor and outdoor? How do I protect my kidsā€™ health? What do I need to watch out for?

Dr. Amy Brown is a pediatric pulmonologist with Maria Fareri Childrenā€™s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center and Boston Childrenā€™s Health Physicians, an Environmental Health Scholar and Liaison at Children’s Environmental Health Center of the Hudson Valley (NYSCheck), and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at New York Medical College.
