Maternal Child Environmental Health Webinar Series: Part 3

As data center development accelerates in Pennsylv

As data center development accelerates in Pennsylvania, ANHE is calling for stronger protections for public health.

Following Gov. Josh Shapiro’s August 18 executive order establishing GRID standards for proposed data centers, ANHE is urging state lawmakers to advance legislation that requires strict oversight of energy demand, binding protections for ratepayers, and accountability for developers.

Data centers can place significant new demands on the electric grid, increasing reliance on fossil fuel power generation and worsening air pollution that disproportionately harms people living with asthma, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions.

ANHE is calling for clean energy investment and enforceable protections for the health and safety of Pennsylvanians living near these facilities.

ANHE member Paloma Greenwald, MA, BSN, RN, spoke at the signing of Arizona's new law prohibiting the use of intentionally added PFAS in firefighting foam—a step toward reducing harmful chemical exposures for firefighters, nearby communities, and future generations.

As Paloma shared: "For the public's health, the lesson is clear. Prevention is far better than treatment....By removing PFAS from firefighting foam, this law helps stop contamination at the source...for stronger protections for firefighters, nearby residents, and future generations. I commend the collaborative efforts for taking this lesson to heart."

PFAS "forever chemicals" may be hiding in your cookware.

Defend Our Health has launched a searchable directory to help consumers identify major cookware brands that contain PFAS and make more informed choices. Reducing exposure starts with knowing what's in the products we use every day.

A powerful reminder that community organizing works. ✊🌎

When residents of Armourdale, Kansas City learned a waste processing facility was proposed for their neighborhood, they organized, spoke out, and built community power. Their efforts led the company to withdraw its permit application—a victory for environmental justice and public health.

Diesel pollution is a serious health threat, especially for people living, working, and going to school near busy roads, freight corridors, and other sources of diesel exhaust.

ANHE’s Clearing the Air: Reducing Health Risks from Diesel Pollution resource breaks down the health impacts of diesel pollution and offers practical information health professionals can use to reduce exposure and advocate for cleaner air.

In this video, ANHE member Erin Johnson highlights why this issue matters and why health professionals need clear, accessible tools to talk about it.

Climate change, armed conflict, and public health

Climate change, armed conflict, and public health are deeply interconnected—and each crisis makes the others worse.
