Health Impacts of Air Pollution and Fires Meeting
Presented by our friends and colleagues at Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments
Please join the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) for a lively workshop on how air pollution and fires impact our health and what nurses can do about it.
This workshop will cover information that all nurses should know about how air pollution, including indoor air pollution, affects our health, with special attention to fire-related air pollution. Nurses will learn about the latest science regarding protective mask-use during bad air days, the ways in which our transportation policies impact our air and health, and how to identify major polluters in your communities.
