This advocacy video shows how children are uniquely vulnerable to air pollution. Young children are at risk because they breathe faster than adults, and their lungs and immune system are still developing. With every breath, millions of children are inhaling toxic air. Air pollution is linked to pneumonia, the leading infectious killer of children under 5. The time to act is now.
