Children's Environmental Health Disparities Fact Sheets

EPA is pleased to announce the availability of four new fact sheets on children's environmental health disparities. These new fact sheets address disparities in secondhand smoke exposure and asthma among African American and Hispanic American children.  Each fact sheet includes important information on actions parents can take to protect their children and positive actions EPA and other organizations are taking to address each specific environmental health issue. The intended audiences are parents and community-based organizations working on environmental health issues of specific minority populations.

These new fact sheets are the first set in a series. EPA plans to develop fact sheets on environmental health disparities among Asian and Pacific Islander American and American Indian children.

Children's Environmental Health Disparities:

  • Black and African American Children and Asthma
  • Black and African American Children and Secondhand Smoke
  • Hispanic and Latino American Children and Asthma
  • Hispanic and Latino American Children and Secondhand Smoke
