Description:

Children in rural communities encounter unique environmental exposures, many of which can result in negative long-term health consequences. Children are particularly at risk from these exposures due to their close interaction with the environment and developing physiology. The authors describe 3 rural environmental hazards: wood stove smoke, well water contaminants, and agricultural pollutants. Contaminants found in these exposures have adverse respiratory, neurodevelopmental, cardiometabolic, and carcinogenic effects, among others. The authors recommend that rural pediatric clinicians screen for these environmental exposures, and they provide tools and resources related to testing, mitigation, and medical monitoring.
