“For the sake of my patients and my own kids, we need the EPA to regulate emissions from engines and vehicles to ensure the safety and health of our communities, including those most vulnerable among us, children,” said attending anesthesiologist at Seattle Children’s Hospital and member of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility Dr. Elizabeth Hansen. “Climate change and extreme heat made worse by increasing carbon emissions directly harm children. We have the studies to prove it, and many have testified about those, but we can all see it with our own eyes.”
