Protecting Your Childas Health

Because of their smaller, rapidly growing bodies, babies, children, and adolescents are at higher risk from exposure to environmental hazards. This guide provides information on food and water safety, air pollution, sun protection, lead, radiation, and pesticides that children may encounter at home, at school, or in the community. Broader issues such as climate change are also addressed. The Q&A format makes the expert guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics accessible to parents.

Datorita corpului lor mai mic, in crestere rapida, bebelusii, copiii si adolescentii sunt expusi unui risc mai mare de expunere la pericole pentru mediu. Acest ghid ofera informatii despre siguranta alimentelor si a apei, poluarea aerului, protectia solara, plumb, radiatii si pesticide pe care copiii le pot intalni acasa, la scoala sau in comunitate.
