Webinars: Health Impacts of Air Pollution and Fire

This workshop covers the health impacts of air pollution and fires and related nurses’ roles and responsibilities and provides information that all nurses should know about how air pollution, including indoor air pollution, affects our health, with special attention to fire-related air pollution. Nurses will learn about the latest science regarding protective mask-use during bad air days, the ways in which our transportation policies impact our air and health, and how to identify major air polluters in your communities.
