ParacelsusParacelsus was so grandiose

And perhaps just a little bit grossManure, blood, and sandand thus you create man

But what makes it a poison is dose!

The Undecided DoseToo much of a thing makes you blue

But not having it can kill you tooToo much or too littleLet's not be so fickle

We'll go Dutch and divide it by two.

LDDI Consensus Statement

http://www.iceh.org/LDDI.html

Given the established knowledge, protecting children from neurotoxic environmental exposures from the earliest stages of fetal development clearly is an essential public health measure if we are to help prevent learning and developmental disorders and create an environment in which children can reach and maintain their full potential.

Public Health and the Precautionary

Principle

By Steven G. Gilbert


Precautionary Principle

“When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment,

precautionary measures should be take even if some cause and effect relationships are not

fully established scientifically.”

Wingspread Conference, 1998.


Child Health


So Many Chemicals so Little Data

2863 above 1 Million pounds

78.2% no data

21.4% some data

12 or 0.4% good data

www.preventingharm.org


Nearly 12 million children (17%) under age 18 in the US suffer from one or more developmental disabilities

Learning disabilities – 5-10% of kids in public school

ADHD – 3-6% of all school kids, maybe higher
