Child Health and the Environment

Child health and the environment refer to how environmental factors affect the well-being of children. This includes the impact of air and water quality, exposure to toxins, and climate change on children's physical and mental health. Children are more vulnerable to environmental hazards due to their developing bodies and behaviors. Poor environmental conditions can lead to respiratory issues, developmental delays, and other health problems. Ensuring a safe, clean environment is essential for promoting healthy growth and development in children, highlighting the importance of protecting both public health and the natural world for future generations.
