A Child's Environmental Bill of Rights
Give me enough oxygen for my body's requirements.
Give me air having a minimum of tiny particulates and no tobacco smoke
so my lungs remain clear and efficient.
Give me air free from mold's neurotoxic gases.
Give me air free from radon.
Give me air free of contaminants from offgassing building materials, furnishings, synthetic fragrances, and combusion gases, so my immune system isn't constantly challenged.
Find healthy alternatives to pesticides and herbicides.
Make sure my play areas are electromagnetically quiet.
Put me to sleep where electromagnetic fields have been lowered as much as possible.
Protect me from dust mites.
Protect me from high frequency and microwave radiation.
Give me good drinking water, free of dissolved toxins.
Let me play with healthy toys and art supplies.
Check my surroundings for lead and asbestos.
Provide me with good quality reading light.
Spend time with me outdoors in natural light.
Give me quiet areas for resting and recharging.
*****
A child is closer to ground-level toxins than adults.
A child breathes at a faster rate, inhaling more toxins.
A child's body weight is less, so toxin: body ratios are greater.
A child is still developing neurologically.
A child is prone to hand-to-mouth contact.
