Exploring Environmental Health
At school, home and in the communityWe are exposed to various environmental hazards in living, working, and recreational environments that may pose a risk to health and wellbeing. The surrounding environment has the potential to adversely affect people’s health through everyday exposure to chemicals, radon, air pollution, and extreme heat.
One of the best ways to protect your health is to learn about these hazards and take action to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
