Please note:
The above information only briefly touches upon the
environmental toxins children are subjected to
throughout their childhood. The above seven were chosen
based on the prevalence in an American child's daily
life; not necessarily on the degree of toxicity. There
are many other toxins that every parent should be aware
of, some of which are at least as toxic as those above.
These include:
Lead
We did not include this toxin, as it is already
among the most well known childhood toxin.

Flame Retardent
Chemicals
Flame retardants have been linked to many serious health
risks, especially to children,
including
cancer, neurodevelopmental delays, reduced IQ and
behavioral problems.
Arsenic
Children are exposed to arsenic in n the soil, water,
food, and air, and all parents need to be
aware of this.
PCBs
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB): This family of chemicals has routinely been associated
with reduced cognitive function in infancy and
childhood. It is often present in foods, particularly
fish, and can be passed along in breast milk.

Tobacco
2nd hand smoke is especially toxic to to babies and
young children,
and can
cause a number of health complications.
