Publisher Description:
Every day in every home, children may be exposed to hidden environmental hazards. But now, parents can do something to protect their children. Common toxins found in lawn pesticides and household cleaners, as well as radon and lead, are a serious threat to growing children. Healthy Homes, Healthy Kids will help you identify and eliminate these hidden hazards. Children are more vulnerable to toxins and hazardous substances than adults and may suffer, sometimes years later, serious consequences from exposure to common household hazards. The authors address the medical and scientific evidence behind their suggestions in brief, nontechnical explanations. This balanced approach, combined with guidelines about safe alternatives, provides the assistance parents need to create a safe family environment. This handbook guides you through a child's daily routine to identify hazards that often are overlooked. The authors provide specific, hands-on solutions for protecting children from even the most toxic substances. Following each chapter is a valuable information and resources section.
