KDHE Reminds Kansas to Be Proactive about Protecting Their Health and Environment
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is reminding Kansans to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves in hot summer temperatures, and to take action to minimize the impact of summertime activities upon the environment.
“By taking some simple, yet very important steps, we can avoid preventable heat-related illnesses and death, while also protecting our environment,” said Roderick Bremby, KDHE Secretary. “Drink plenty of fluids, take frequent breaks and pay close attention to young children and seniors who are more susceptible to sickness from the heat. To reduce the impact on our air quality, mow the lawn and fuel up the car in the evening, and avoid idling your vehicle when possible. If we each do these things, it will help keep us healthier and make our surroundings much safer.”
Summer Environmental Tips
There are also several summer activities that people can do to help protect the environment. In Kansas, 88 percent of air pollution is from individual sources. Activities like driving your car, mowing your lawn, and grilling in your backyard contribute more than two million tons of pollution per year, which is more than four times the amount of pollution produced by large industrial facilities.
For more information on dealing with extreme summer heat, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site at bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/index.asp or the Environmental Protection Agency Web site at: epa.gov/naturalevents/extremeheat.html.
