Children's health is disproportionately impacted by the burning of fossil fuels and the subsequent production of greenhouse gases and air pollution. This is due to their developing physiology, unique behavior patterns, greater body surface area to volume ratio, and reliance on adults for their essential needs. Importantly, increases in air pollution and global warming negatively influence the skin health of children, including increasing the risk of inflammatory dermatoses, climate-sensitive infections, and psychocutaneous disease.
