Toxic chemicals in houshold products pose potential hazards to everyone. Children are at an higher risk from exposures to toxics than adults because they have special vulnerabilities.
Children bodies are less developed:
Beginning at the fetal stage and continuing through adolescence, children are physiologically very different from adults. They are in a dynamic state of growth, with cells multiplying and organ systems developing at a rapid rate. At birth their nervous, repiratory, reproductive, and immune systems are far from fully developed.
Because metabolic systems are still developing in the fetus and child, their ability to detoxify and excrete toxin differens from that of adults. Generally they are not able to excrete toxicn's as well as adults, and thus are more vulnerable to them.
Because a child's immine system is less developed, it cannot protect against toxic exposures as well as a adult is protected. For some toxics, children are missing important biochemical detoxifying mechanisms, which only develop later in life.
Developing cells in children's dodies are more susceptible o damage than a adult cells that have completed development, especially for the central nervous system. During the development of a child, from conception through adolescence, there are praticular windows of vulnerability can lead to permanent and irreversible damage. Even small doses of neurotoxins which would beharmless in an adult, can alter a child nervous system development. for more info about toxic chemicals in you home or office.
