We're working with our RCPCH &Us colleagues to create patient resources that are really useful. In the meantime, we've curated some of our favourite links from elsewhere. If you've got any ideas for resources you'd like to see, please let us know at cleanair@rcpch.ac.uk.

Resources for understanding air pollution

For information suitable for all ages, have a look at The Spark magazine special on air pollution. Shared by one of our Scottish Clean Air Network members, this is a super explainer of air pollution suitable for all ages of CYP. There are some fun interactive experiments too! 

Resources about eco distress

This Royal College of Psychiatrists page on Ecodistress can be shared directly with CYP/families, and is also a useful learning resource for child health professionals. There is a linked podcast which is very informative.
