Why It Matters
Babies and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to chemical exposures due to their rapid development, higher metabolic rates, and behaviors like mouthing objects. Their developing brains, organs, and immune systems can be permanently affected by toxic exposures.
Key Safety Considerations
- ✓Mouthing behavior means direct ingestion of chemicals from toys and teethers
- ✓Thin, permeable skin absorbs chemicals more readily than adult skin
- ✓Higher surface area to body weight ratio increases exposure impact
- ✓Developing organ systems are more susceptible to disruption
- ✓Longer lifetime for chronic effects to manifest
