Houston's Health Museum, the John P. McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science, and the Houston Public Library are currently hosting the exhibit

Your Body, Your Air. This exhibit explains the connections between human health and the air quality and pollution problems in the Houston region.

 

The Health Museum is hosting an online exhibit, and a physical in-person version is traveling to different Houston Public Library locations (link below for schedule).

The online exhibit features a number of pages with graphics, animated videos, & links that allow one to explore specific health impacts and their relationship to the region's principal air quality issues. The exhibit also suggests ways that regional air problems can be addressed.

 

From the exhibit:

"Breathe in. Breathe out. Air pollutants are substances in the air that can have a negative effect on our health. Your Body, Your Air explores four common types of air pollutants and their sources in the Houston area, as well as the effect these pollutants have on our bodies and our communities.

Together we can work towards healthier air, healthier bodies, and healthier communities."
