🌿💨 Pediatric Air Quality Initiative 💨🌿 Every child deserves to breathe clean air, especially where they learn and grow. Our air quality initiative is focused on addressing racial disparities in pediatric asthma rates in Prince George’s County by improving indoor air quality in childcare centers and schools. 🏫 ✨ Our Vision To create healthier learning environments where clean air supports every child’s well-being and development in Prince George’s County. 🔬 What We’re Doing Now We’re currently collecting preliminary data and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes—DIY, cost-effective air filters proven to reduce harmful particulate matter—across our partner childcare centers. 📊 The Impact With the grant funding we have received, we aim to: • Build and distribute Corsi-Rosenthal boxes • Improve indoor air quality in childcare centers • Support the respiratory health of children in Prince George’s County This data collection is just the beginning of a larger push for environmental justice in the county—and we’re excited to keep building momentum toward cleaner, healthier spaces for all children. 🌱 #CleanAirForKids #EnvironmentalJustice #PublicHealth #AsthmaAwareness #HealthySchools #AirQuality #CommunityImpact #EquityInHealth #CorsiRosenthalBox #PGCounty #ClimateAndHealth 🌍💚
