Joining forces for children's health.

چکیده
From airborne particulatesto pesticide-laden fruit, children probably encounter more pollutants than adults. Because their bodies are rapidly developing, children may react more strongly to these toxins, too. The NIEHS hopes to learn more about how several hazardous agents specifically affect kids. Together, the NIEHS and the EPA are spending $10 million to establish up to six Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research. The CDC, a third partner,will later help apply center research to public health.
