Children may be more susceptible to exposures to environmental toxins than adults and may be more vulnerable to their effects. Because of this, the health care community and those responsible for children need to be alert to possible environmental factors in identifying and responding to the health problems of children. Their focus should be on the causes of the health problem, emphasizing environmental sources, and not on simply treating the symptoms.
儿童可能比成年人更容易接触到环境毒素,并且可能对其影响更敏感。因此,医疗保健界以及负责儿童事务的人员在识别和应对儿童健康问题时需要警惕可能的环境因素。他们的重点应该是健康问题的成因,强调环境来源,而不仅仅是治疗症状。
