New Factsheets Available for Schools Facing Climate Change
Get Tips for School Staff and Parents for Creating Cleaner Air and Cooling Centers at Schools
EPA’s latest factsheets are designed to help schools and communities that are facing the consequences of climate change.
As extreme weather events such as wildfires and heatwaves overlap with other stressors such as infectious diseases like COVID-19, it’s important for schools and their partners to work together to mitigate the health risks to students and the community.
Children are uniquely vulnerable to extreme heat and wildfire smoke, because of their size, physiology, and factors that include playing outdoors and having less control over their environment and exposure to harm.
