Children's Health Month 2008

EPA celebrates Children's Health Month each October by developing publications and activities that highlight the importance of protecting children from environmental risks. On October 6, 2008 EPA launched a new campaign to educate middle and high school students about climate change and its effects on children's health. Teens will create a new climate for action by taking action to address global climate change and encouraging their friends and families to do the same.

Also in support of Children’s Health Month 2008, OCHPEE will provide the following:

The 2008 Children's Environmental Health Report (PDF) (32pp, 1MB), the eighth in an annual series highlighting EPA work to protect children from environmental risks.
October Calendar, with a children’s environmental health tip for every day in October.

Read a proclamation issued on Child Health Day by the President of the United States of America.
