Children are not little adults. They have unique patterns of environmental exposure and developmentally determined susceptibilities that increase their risk of disease following toxic environmental exposure. Evidence is accumulating that children's exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment is contributing to changing patterns of pediatric disease.
儿童不是小大人。他们有独特的环境暴露模式以及由发育决定的易感性,这增加了他们在接触有毒环境后患病的风险。越来越多的证据表明,儿童接触环境中的有毒化学物质正在导致儿科疾病模式的改变。
