Environmental Health Student Portal
// Added: Jan 9, 2015 // This web portal from the NIH’s National Library of Medicine (NLM) offers student-friendly information on air pollution, chemicals, climate change, and water pollution. Each broad category is subdivided into topics that contain articles, videos, games and activities, and links for further learning—all targeted for the middle level student. Of particular interest is the animation Mercury and Our Health (click on Chemicals/Mercury/Videos), which details how mercury is used and how overexposure impacts health. http://kidsenvirohealth.nlm.nih.gov/
