Pediatrician and environmental scientist Dr. Deborah Hendrickson joins Dr. Michael Koren to discuss how the environment affects our health. Dr. Hendrickson uses the example of poor air quality from sources such as wildfires and pollution to explain how this impacts children's breathing, from lung development to allergies and asthma. She also notes that the climate is changing due to human causes, which should inspire hope that human solutions are possible. The doctors conclude by discussing how climate change is making things more difficult everywhere and how the risks to our children, in particular, are increasing.
