Canadian children and youth travelling overseas face numerous environmental risks, including trauma, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, high altitudes, environmental pollution, and a variety of bites, stings and envenomations. Because skilled emergency response is limited or nonexistent in places where serious illness or injury is most likely to occur, avoiding or limiting these risks is imperative. Travel and paediatric health care providers must be able to identify environmental risks and to advise parents appropriately. Anticipating potential dangers and planning preventive strategies in advance can reduce both parental anxiety and the risk to children.
前往海外旅行的加拿大儿童和青少年面临众多环境风险，包括创伤、极端温度、阳光照射、高海拔、环境污染以及各种叮咬、蜇伤和中毒。由于在最有可能发生严重疾病或受伤的地方，专业的应急响应有限或不存在，因此避免或限制这些风险至关重要。旅行和儿科医疗保健提供者必须能够识别环境风险并适当地向家长提供建议。提前预测潜在危险并制定预防策略可以减轻家长的焦虑并降低儿童面临的风险。
