Children are close to ground-level toxins and are prone to hand-to-mouth contact. Children breathe at a faster rate than adults, inhaling more toxins. A child's body weight is less than an adult's, so toxins can have greater impact on the child. Children are still developing neurologically and therefore are at greater risk from toxins than adults.
There is much that parents can do on their own to improve the home environment. Beyond that, Enviro Health can assist in professionally assessing air
and water quality, mold, and electromagnetic fields.
