Poumon NB
New Brunswick is lucky to experience relatively clean air, but it remains a growing threat. More people are turning to wood-burning heating options to save money, and climate change is driving hotter, drier summers with more intense wildfires. As we've seen in the summer of 2023, the smoke from these fires can travel thousands of kilometres!
Air pollution affects everyone - especially children. Kids’ lungs are still developing. They breathe more quickly than adults, which means they breathe more air, and more air pollution.
Poumon NB
"Sometimes it’s obvious when a chemical is hazardous, for example, those that cause a rash of coughing from breathing the fumes. Other chemicals cause no immediate or clear symptoms but can have some of the most insidious long-term health effects – particularly when exposure occurs in-utero or during early childhood.
The Healthy Homes project is designed to introduce families to common in-home sources of toxins and provide practical, affordable solutions to limit potentially toxic contact in their day-to-day life.
