Teaching Environmental Health to Children

"Teaching Environmental Health to Children" is a specialized book that focuses on teaching environmental health to elementary and secondary school students. It highlights everyday exposures to toxins and their health impacts, which are often not addressed in the classroom. The book is based on activities and curricula developed at nine universities in the United States, supported by a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The goal is to make these valuable lessons accessible to a global audience and to encourage educators of all subjects and grade levels to integrate environmental health into their teaching. The authors, including David W. Hursh and Camille A. Martina, provide practical approaches and materials to educate students as informed citizens who understand the connections between the environment and health. The combination of scientific insights with social and ethical dimensions makes this book an essential tool for education in the field of environmental health.
