About this episode

The episode discusses the I-475 expansion in West Toledo and its potential impact on children's health with expert Dr. Patrick Ryan.

The I-475 Neighborhoods Coalition has argued the widening of !-475 in West Toledo is not necessary. The group is also warning about an increase in air pollution with an increase in traffic. My guest for this installment is Dr. Patrick Ryan from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, a 25-year pediatric researcher on pollution and its harms to children’s health.
