High levels of air pollution in and around homes and schools cause respiratory problems in children. Ensuring access to safe, clean household fuels for cooking and heating, reduces indoor air pollution in the home and promotes the health and safety of children. Siting homes, schools and play areas away from traffic, noise, industrial and waste sites also reduces children's exposure to pollution.
