Air pollution is an environmental health problem in many cities throughout the world. Residents in an urban community through which a major freeway transportation route runs are suffering from a number of health effects. The local organization arranges for you, a health educator, to consult with and assist a nurse from a local community clinic in planning and implementing a program that will address reduction in exposure of the community, particularly children, to air pollution and thereby reducing the impact of air pollution in the community.
