A6 Public health can play a powerful role in advancing energy justice. Energy affordability and access to energy efficiency measures need to be address to improve household health and build climate resilience, and mitigate climate change. #NPHWChat #ClimateChangesHealth #Energy

A2 (1 of 2): #ClimateChange impacts child care settings through building infrastructure, air, water and food quality. #AirQuality and #extremeheat may also affect children’s ability to play outside and childrens’ #mentalhealth and wellness. #CEHchat #CliamteChangesHealth

[National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) @NCHH]

A2. Any hazard that you can find in your home, regardless of its age, is a potential hazard in a child care setting. People work very hard to ensure a healthy home but can sometimes blank on possible #leadpoisoning or #asthma hazards where their kids spend the MOST time. #CEHchat

[Harvard C-CHANGE @HarvardCCHANGE]

@CEHN A2. Flame retardants (FRs) are often found in nap mats, chairs, foam blocks, and other furniture. PFAS, a group of long-lasting man-made chemicals, can be found in carpeting, upholstery, or clothing that has water or stain repellent. #CEHchat (1/2)

[APHA Environmental Health @EH_4_ALL]

A2: Some children are still exposed to high levels of #lead and #asthma triggers such as mold and secondhand smoke that can lead to lifelong health problems. Read how state departments of health and environment are working to address these issues: https://t.co/6keVFilT1O #CEHchat
