Child Health and the Environment - A Primer
August 2005
Children's
environmental health is a large and rapidly growing field. This Primer
aims to provide a solid introduction to a vast and complex topic. It
will enable the reader to understand the basis for concern about
environmental impacts on children's health, and will make it easier to
pursue further readings and research into this vitally important issue.
In tandem, an
8-page brochure has been created that provides practical and easy
childproofing tips to protect our children.
