Kræft, reproduktive misdannelser og neurologiske lidelser rammer børn i alarmerende hast. Syntetiske kemikalier har revolutioneret moderne industri og produktion, men hvilken pris betaler vi for denne bekvemmelighed? En ny rapport offentliggjort i det anerkendte New...
Over 350,000 chemicals, chemical mixtures and plastics used in common products like winter gloves, toys and electronics are contributing to soaring rates of diseases like diabetes and cancer in kids, as well as conditions like autism and ADHD, a consortium of prominent doctors and researchers have warned.
It is common knowledge that children, as a group, are considered to be more sensitive to chemicals in the environment due to a variety of factors.
Exposure to manufactured synthetic chemicals has worsened the levels of chronic disease and developmental disorders in children, over the last 50 years, including childhood cancer, male reproductive birth defects, pediatric obesity, neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and IQ reduction, according to a newly published peer-reviewed paper in the world’s leading medical journal, The New England Journal of Medicine.
Children are suffering and dying from diseases that emerging scientific research has linked to chemical exposures, findings that require urgent revamping of laws around the world, according to a new paper published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
The number of children with serious diseases has increased significantly over the past 50 years. An extensive array of research has found one of the primary causes is exposure to synthetic chemicals.
Over the past half-century, childhood cancer in the United States is up 35%. Pediatric asthma has tripled. And pediatric obesity has quadrupled.
Nations must start testing and regulating chemicals and chemical products as closely as the current systems that safeguard prescription drugs or risk rising rates of chronic illnesses among children, according to a New England Journal of Medicine report by a group of experts writing as the Consortium for Children’s Environmental Health.
Chronic diseases are the main cause of illness and death for children in the U.S. and Europe, and exposure to chemicals is driving the epidemic, according to a paper published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A group of scientists and doctors from 17 institutions in the US and Europe called for a crackdown on more than 350,000 synthetic chemicals and microplastics which are found in everything from clothing to cosmetics and food packaging.
