Episode 10: The Impacts of the Growler Jets on Children

Children are some of the most vulnerable members of the communities of Northwest Washington, and they face many of the most severe effects of the Growler jets. In this episode, we’ll hear from several guests - parents, a population health professor, an audiologist, an environmental advocate, and a former school board member - about the many, many impacts on children. They face hearing damage, classroom interruptions, impeded language and learning skills, severe health impacts from water contamination, and more. The children of this region deserve to be protected. Listen to learn what they are up against and how you can be part of the solutions.
