Abstract
Children may be more susceptible to exposures to environmental toxins than adults and may be more vulnerable to their effects. Because of th is. the health care community and those responsible for children need to be alert to possible environmental factors in identifying and respo nding to the health problems of children. Their focus should be on the causes of the health problem. emphasizing environmental sources, and not on simply treating the symptoms.
