Environmental toxicants: human exposures and their health effects

Environmental Exposures and Potential Health Effects of Bifenthrin

Emerging exposures of developmental toxicants.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to identify emerging developmental toxicants that are understudied in children's health. Exposures may arise from new products designed to improve utility, to reduce toxicity, or to replace undesirable chemicals. Exposures to less-toxic chemicals may also be significant if they are very commonly used, thereby generating widespread exposure. Source...

Chronic effects of toxic environmental exposures on children's health.

Children have unusual patterns of exposure to environmental chemicals, and they have vulnerabilities that are quite distinct from those of adults. Increasingly, children's exposures to chemicals in the environment are understood to contribute to the causation and exacerbation of certain chronic, disabling diseases in children including asthma, cancer, birth defects, and neurobehavioral dysfunct...
