摘要: Our understanding of toxicity environmental substances is based mainly on investigations using adult human populations and matured animals. Therefore, the scientific community regulatory agencies have very little knowledge regarding how children respond to insult from toxic chemicals. However, certain data indicate that are more susceptible exposure than adults because they proportionally intake food contaminants, active developmental processes, multiple pathways socio-behavioral activities. More emphasis should therefore be focused addressing information gap for improving health our children.
