But what is happening in Debra Hendricksonâs clinic tells another story of this strange and unsettling time. Hendrickson is a pediatrician in Reno, Nevadaâthe fastest warming city in the United States, where ash falls like snow during summer wildfires. In The Air They Breathe, Dr. Hendrickson recounts patients sheâs seen who were harmed by worsening smoke, smog, and pollen; two boys in Arizona, stricken by record-setting heat while hiking; children who fled for their lives from Hurricane Harvey and the Tubbs Fire; and a little girl whose life was forever altered by the Zika virus outbreak in 2016. The climate crisis is a health crisis, and it is a health crisis, first and foremost, for children. Childrenâs bodies are interwoven with and shaped by their surroundings. As the planet warms and their environment changes, childrenâs health is at risk. The youngest are especially vulnerable because their brain, lungs, and other organs are forming and growing every day, and because their physiology is so different from that of adults. Childhood has always been a risky period of life; throughout history, babies and children have met peril, from polio to famine, from cyclones to war. Yet they have never quite had to face, in quite this way, the potential loss of the future itself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-231) and index. 650 0 $a Air $x Pollution 650 0 $a Children $x Effect of environment on. 650 0 $a Children $x Heath and hygiene 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Health aspects 650 0 $a Humans beings $x Effect of climate on 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716063110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DA2D0AC433B11EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
