Children's Health and the Environment:
A Video Introduction for State Policy Makers

NCSL's 18 minute video presents policymakers with latest information on important science and policy issues in the area of children's health and the environment.  The video discusses the unique vulnerability and susceptibility of children to environmental factors, looks at the potential links between the environment and the rising rates of some childhood diseases, and provides examples of state policy efforts in this area. These issues are particularly relevant to today's policymakers, given the growing challenge states face in dealing with the rising cost of treating chronic diseases such as developmental disabilities and asthma.
