Air Pollution and Climate Change Take a Growing Toll on Children's Health, June 15, 2022
A New England Journal of Medicine article reviews the evidence on the large and growing toll of air pollution and fossil fuel-driven climate change on children. Frederica Perera of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and Kari Nadeau of the Stanford University School of Medicine write that protecting children’s health requires that health professionals understand the multiple harms to children from climate change and air pollution and use available strategies to reduce these harms.

As Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Candidates Push More Gas Production, Report Collects Studies That Show Fracking Harms
In an article in State Impact Pennsylvania, Dr. Joan Casey said the compendium provides ample evidence of a link between fracking and air pollution with harmful particulate matter and volatile organic compounds and welcomed the evidence of a link between fracking and climate change. “We must act on climate now and continuing to pull more fossil fuels out of the ground hinders that effort,” she said.

This June, EHJ Advocates met for Self-Assessment Day to review program objectives, define projects and deliverables. The first EHJ Newsletter was also sent to our partnering youth organizations and CCCEH youth study cohorts highlighting the past year's activities.
We are proud to boast a 60% open rate. The youth are engaged!!
EHJ Advocates expect to produce a bi-annual newsletter to inform and engage local youth on EHJ issues and activities, particularly those critical to children's environmental health. Cheers to Yesibel Pimentel, EHJ Advocates' Intern, editor in chief, for seeing this through.
