The Air District is always looking for ways to get kids and teachers interested in learning and teaching about air pollution sources, health effects and ways to reduce air pollution.

Here are some web pages that offer fun activities and information for kids and teachers.

The Air District staff is available on request to come into the classroom and talk about air pollution. Just give us a call!
