How do chemicals effect children?

A couple of independent tests...

World Wildlife Fund (UK)

30 new-born babies
Blood tests taken from the umbilical cord
Analysed for the presence of 35 chemicals
Every baby tested positive for chemicals
Chemicals found have suspected links to birth defects, genital abnormalities and
certain types of cancer
All babies contained at least 5 of the 35 chemicals
Some contained as many as 14 of the 35 chemicals

Environmental Working Group (USA)

10 new-born babies
Blood tests taken from the umbilical cord
287 chemical and pollutants detected
Average body burden was 200 chemicals
Of the 287 chemicals detected:
180 cause cancer in humans or animals
217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system
208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests

These are some specific things found in the cord blood...

perfumes
plasticisers
tin can linings
cleaning fluids
flame retardants
cosmetic ingredients
chemicals from baby bottles
non stick and water-proof coatings
non-stick chemicals flame-retardants
banned, yet persistent, pesticides such as DDT
