Description
Because of their smaller, rapidly growing bodies, babies, children, and adolescents are at higher risk from exposure to environmental hazards. This guide provides information on food and water safety, air pollution, sun protection, lead, radiation, and pesticides that children may encounter at home, at school, or in the community. Broader issues such as climate change are also addressed. The Q&A format makes the expert guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics accessible to parents.
