abstract: Research is one of the cornerstones of environmental health, providing the foundation for sound public policy and for appropriate education of communities and professionals in a myriad of disciplines. Until very recently, little research in environmental health focused on exposure patterns and health outcomes for children. Pediatric medicine shows that children are not just little adults; they are uniquely vulnerable.
