CHILDREN’S HEALTH AS IMPACTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS

September 24 thru 25, 2004
Austin, Texas

The Children’s Environmental Health Institute will host this symposium, which will provide an opportunity for public health professionals, education policy-makers and childcare facility administrators and others to learn how to protect children from health risks related to their environment. Major reasons for promoting educational information about the effects of environmental pollutants and toxicants on infants and children include: the substantial increase in chemicals and microorganisms that now contaminate our air, food, and water; the increase of certain childhood disorders, such as the prevalence of pediatric asthma.
