Pollution is a concerning and highly studied area, especially in the arena of children's health. The focus of this concern, however, is typically limited to air and water pollution, leaving an important source under-studied and out of the concern of the general public. Soil pollution provides a unique threat to children's health, due to their increased exposure and susceptibility to its contaminants. The microbiome of a child is developed prior to birth and continues to evolve over their lifetime with each encounter to the outside world. The environment a child inhabits directly affects their microbiome and their overall health, and through interactions with contaminated soil, a child can accumulate adverse health outcomes. The aim of this article is to summarize the methods by which soil becomes contaminated and how children become exposed to the resulting toxicants.
污染是一个令人关注且备受研究的领域，尤其是在儿童健康领域。然而，人们关注的焦点通常仅限于空气污染和水污染，而忽略了一个重要的污染源，也没有引起公众的关注。土壤污染对儿童健康构成了独特的威胁，因为儿童更容易接触土壤污染物，且更容易受到其影响。儿童的微生物组在出生前就已经形成，并在其一生中随着与外界的每次接触而不断发展。儿童所处的环境直接影响他们的微生物组和整体健康，而通过与受污染的土壤相互作用，儿童可能会积累不良的健康后果。本文旨在总结土壤污染的途径以及儿童接触由此产生的有毒物质的方式。
