🫁Air Pollution and Children’s Health- November ZWTF

Nothing is scarier than air pollution and the harm is poses to our kids. The county’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 children’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 kids’ health? What do I need to watch out for?

Dr. Amy Brown is a pediatric pulmonologist with Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center and Boston Children’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.
