Education and Outreach
Children's Environmental Health
Children are more susceptible to contaminants in the environment than adults because they eat more food, drink more water, and breathe more air in proportion to their body size. In addition, their internal systems are still developing and many of their behaviors put them at a higher risk for exposure.
