Children's Unique Vulnerability To Environmental Toxins
Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental toxins. Children havegreater exposures to environmental toxins than adults.
http://www.childenvironment.org/factsheets/childrens_vulnerability.htm

Extractions: As a consequence of this biological immaturity, children's ability to detoxify and excrete certain toxins is different from that of adults. In some instances, children are actually better able than adults to deal with environmental toxins. More commonly, however, they are less able than adults to deal with toxic chemicals and thus they are more vulnerable to them. Many organ systems in young children-the nervous system, the reproductive organs, the immune system-undergo very rapid growth and development in the first months and years of life. During this period, structures are developed and vital connections are established. Indeed, development of the nervous system continues all through childhood, as is evidenced by the fact that children continue to acquire new skills progressively as they grow and develop-crawling, walking, talking, reading, and writing. The nervous system is not well able to repair any structural damage that is caused by environmental toxins. Thus, if cells in the developing brain are destroyed by chemicals such as lead, mercury, or solvents, or if vital connections between nerve cells fail to form, there is high risk that the resulting neurobehavioral dysfunction will be permanent and irreversible. The consequences can be loss of intelligence and alteration of normal behavior.

http://www.childenvironment.org/press/1999-05-24.htm

Extractions: More than 250 health researchers, pediatricians and public health professionals are gathering today and tomorrow at the New York Academy of Medicine to examine a growing body of evidence linking environmental toxins to children's neurodevelopment disorders. Participants will develop research and policy recommendations that could help prevent childhood diseases of environmental origin. The two-day conference is organized by Mount Sinai School of Medicine's new Center for Children's Health and the Environment - a project funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts. The conference, which brings together neurotoxicology specialists and experts in children's learning disorders, is the latest example of the growing interest among public health professionals in preventing and eradicating childhood diseases linked to pollutants. "We know that chemicals such as lead, PCBs, mercury and certain pesticides cause some fraction of developmental disorders," said Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, noted pediatrician and director of the academic Center. "What we don't know is how many other toxic chemicals may affect children's brain and nervous system development, and at what levels."

Extractions: with Rachael Droege There are many upsides to living in a modern, high-tech society (like having access to the Internet and digital cameras and MP3 audio players to name a few of my favorites.) But as with most things in life and in nature, whether you call it yin and yang, balance or the principle that opposites attract, with the upside comes a significant downside. For all of the conveniences and advances that we have grown so accustomed to comes a slew of environmental toxins chemicals and other materials largely from industry and carelessness that have very much saturated our water, our food and the very air we breathe. Many of these toxins are things that you can't see, smell or feel, at least not right away. One of the major problems with them is just that. We don't realize that we're being affected until we come down with a chronic disease after years of subtle and often consistent exposure to a combination of these toxins.

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER Money talks, we all know that. For Kate Davies, money and economics can say plenty toward arguing for tighter regulation of toxic chemicals used by companies in Washington. "It is important for environmentalists to use economic arguments to control toxic chemicals," said Davies, a researcher in environment and community at Antioch University Seattle's Center for Creative Change. "Of course, monetary valuations of diseases and disabilities are only part of the picture. They do not take account of people's suffering or the emotional costs to families and friends. "But whether we like it or not, legislators are heavily influenced by economic arguments. It is important for environmentalists to speak this language.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/health/233680_condor25.html

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER A quick chemistry lesson: There are about 80,000 chemicals registered for U.S. industrial use. Some 3,000 of them are produced at rates of 1 million pounds or more. That's a long list. You would have to consider it impossible for the government to monitor all 80,000 or even the heavy-duty 3,000 for public health safety. It's just too much for the likes of the Environmental Protection Agency or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The logical approach is to turn it around. Require companies to prove chemicals used in their products won't harm people. Put the burden of proof on marketers ready to sell the newest cleaners or bug killers or fire-resistant electronics equipment. That idea, though entirely sound, doesn't stand a chance of enduring highly politicized corporate America. Can you say "lobbyist?"

Andrews In 1993, the Burke family of St. James, NY filed suit against Dow Chemical Company and Core Marketing, the company that produces Rid-A-Bug. Their suit charged that chemicals in the spray cross the placental barrier and caused severe damage to two of their unborn children. Their first child was born with congenital cataracts, static encephalopathy (brain damage), hydrocephalus ("water on the brain"), and cerebral palsy, a medical term which covers a wide number of muscular and motor disorders. The wife was pregnant again before they suspected the magnitude of the problem or it's possible source.

Extractions: Many diseases that are triggered by toxins in the environment require decades to develop. Examples include mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos, leukemia caused by benzene, breast cancer that may be caused by DDT, and possibly some chronic neurologic diseases such as Parkinson's disease that may be caused by exposure to environmental neurotoxins. Many of those diseases are now thought to be the products of multistage processes within the body's cells that require many years to evolve from earliest initiation to actual manifestation of illness. Consequently, certain carcinogenic and toxic exposures sustained early in life appear more likely to lead to disease than do the same exposure encountered later in life. This summary was prepared by the Center for Children's Health and the Environment of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. CCHE's mission is to promote the health of children by conducting environmental health and policy research. CCHE was established in 1998 with the support of The Pew Charitable Trusts. CCHE's director is Philip J. Landrigan M.D., M.Sc., a pediatrician who chairs the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Extractions: WASHINGTON, OCT. 2, 2001 Smoking, stress, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), particulate emissions, and other potential factors that may affect preterm birth will be examined today and tomorrow as doctors and researchers from the United States and Canada meet here at the National Academy of Sciences Auditorium. Sponsored by the Institute of Medicines Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine and the March of Dimes, this conference is the first time scientists from North America will gather to discuss the possible effects of environmental toxins on the growing rate of prematurity in the U.S. "Each year in the U.S., more than 440,000 babies are born too soon. Since the early 1980s, the rate of preterm birth in this country has actually increased by 23 percent and we need to know why," said Donald R. Mattison, M.D., medical director of the March of Dimes. Dr. Mattison has played a central role in organizing this workshop, along with the Institute of Medicine and other national agencies. "This workshop is an opportunity for doctors and researchers to share what theyve learned so we can begin to see if there is a correlation between environmental toxins and prematurity, and then develop new strategies to reduce prematurity in this country," he added. "Whether we determine toxins are a direct or secondary cause can guide which interventions we take in the future to insure that all births result in healthy babies."
