Poor air quality requires a recess from playing outside

Improving air quality protects the health, welfare of children.
We can leave North Texas air better than we found it. Reducing emissions and learning about air quality can be fun for all ages.

Kids can learn about what can be done to clean the air with the Air North Texas Kids Activity Book! It will teach them about the importance of air quality and simple tips for cleaning up the air in North Texas.
