Traffic on major expressways like the Cross Bronx Expressway and Major Deegan Expressway in Bronx contributes to high asthma rates in children due to air pollution from burning fossil fuels.
Climate change legislation like the NY HEAT and Climate Change Superfund Acts are essential to reduce air pollution and wean off polluting fossil fuels, benefiting public health.
Air pollution from burning fossil fuels not only causes childhood asthma but also contributes to adult respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and more.
Climate change is not only leading to extreme weather events but is also impacting human health, affecting lungs, hearts, and brains.
