CHEM Trust publications on Neurological Impairment in Children
This report highlights that, in Europe, widespread damage to childrens brain function has resulted from exposure to neurotoxic chemicals, including lead, mercury, and PCBs. A more precautionary approach is needed to prevent pregnant women and children from being exposed to further modern-use chemicals which impair brain development.
Current legislation, including the newly agreed EU Regulation (REACH) is still inadequate, despite the fact that studies show that more effective controls could actually save money and bring many social benefits.
