Get ready for the summer #heat with #APHA! For children’s day-to-day activities, consult the Heat Index – a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. https://t.co/2iUKvo9Lu7

Also, #schools need working heating, ventilation, and #AirConditioning systems for healthy indoor air quality, heating/cooling. Heat pumps, energy-recovery ventilation systems & onsite renewable energy generation would also help reduce GHG emissions https://t.co/KV49TcRSHL (2/2)

#ClimateChange increases the number of #ExtremeHeat days across the US, which impairs children’s academic performance. Many #schools without AC are closing on these days, resulting in less instruction time. We must #ActOnClimate

Our #StateOfTheAir report found an increase of ~2 million more people living in areas with failing grades for unhealthy levels of pollution compared to last year’s report. Most of the increase is due to wildfire activity in the West. https://t.co/viZps4WKx3
