The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a new booklet, “Supporting Healthy Houses of Worship: Effective, Affordable Measures to Protect the Health of Congregations and Staff.” The booklet has a special focus on children’s health and is designed to help places of worship be able to take action to reduce environmental health risks. The booklet identifies common types of environmental health concerns, provides facts and recommendations to help limit risks to congregants, and access to low-cost or no-cost measures to combat environmental risks.
