A timely, revelatory first look into the impact climate change has on children—the greatest moral crisis humanity faces today—by a pediatrician in the fastest warming city in America.

Wildfires, hurricanes, and heat waves make headlines. But what is happening in Debra Hendrickson’s clinic tells another story of this strange and unsettling time. Hendrickson is a pediatrician in Reno, Nevada—the fastest warming city in the United States, where ash falls like snow during summer wildfires. In The Air They Breathe, Dr. Hendrickson recounts patients she’s seen who were harmed by worsening smoke, smog, and pollen; two boys in Arizona, stricken by record-setting heat while hiking; children who fled for their lives from Hurricane Harvey and the Tubbs Fire; and a little girl whose life was forever altered by the Zika virus outbreak in 2016.

The climate crisis is a health crisis, and it is a health crisis, first and foremost, for children. Children’s bodies are interwoven with and shaped by their surroundings. As the planet warms and their environment changes, children’s health is at risk. The youngest are especially vulnerable because their brain, lungs, and other organs are forming and growing every day, and because their physiology is so different from that of adults. Childhood has always been a risky period of life; throughout history, babies and children have met peril, from polio to famine, from cyclones to war. Yet they have never quite had to face, in quite this way, the potential loss of the future itself.

The Air They Breathe is not just about the health impacts of global warming, but something more: a soul-stirring reminder of our moral responsibility to our children, and their profound connections to this unique and irreplaceable world.

及时而令人警醒的一瞥，揭示了气候变化如何影响儿童——人类今天面临的最大道德危机——由美国最快速变暖城市里诺的儿科医生所呈现。 野火、飓风和热浪占据了头条。但德布拉·亨德森医生诊所中正在发生的故事讲述了一个不同寻常且不安定时代的另一个故事。亨德森医生在内华达州里诺市——美国最快速变暖的城市，那里在夏季野火期间，火山灰像雪一样降落。 《他们呼吸的空气》中，亨德森医生讲述了她接诊的一些患者：因烟雾、雾霾和花粉的恶化而受伤害的孩子们；一名在美国亚利桑那州热浪席卷期间徒步旅行时被感染的两男孩；逃离哈维飓风和图波斯大火的孩子们；以及2016年寨卡病毒大流行后生活因此改变的一个小女孩。 气候危机就是健康危机，尤其首先是对儿童而言。孩子们的身体与他们的环境交织在一起并塑造着他们。随着地球变暖及其周围环境的变化，孩子们的健康面临风险。最年轻的一代特别脆弱，因为它们的大脑、肺部和其他器官正在每天形成和成长，而且与成人相比其生理特性也大不相同。童年的危险期自古以来就存在；在历史长河中，婴儿和孩子曾遭遇过脊髓灰质炎以及饥荒，飓风以及战争的威胁。但直到现在，他们从未真正经历要面对自己未来可能被夺走的风险。 《他们呼吸的空气》不仅关乎全球变暖的健康影响，而是更深层次地唤醒了我们对孩子们的道德责任，强调了他们与这个独特且不可替代的世界之间的深刻联系。
