Workshop to provide insight about environmental health hazards to children
Did you know there are more than 80,000 chemicals in common use today that have been inadequately tested for their impact on children's health? 
 
As a child care provider, how do you identify environmental health hazards in and around your facility?  The Children's Environmental Health Network (CEHN) will provide training on August 27 at the Camp Fire USA Resource Center to address these concerns, as well as provide local and national resources to obtain additional information and assistance.
