". . . there is a need to be more aggressive about furthering
the agenda for children’s environmental health . . . The
upstream focus that will better safeguard children’s environmental
health encompasses action at increasingly broader spheres of influence,
from local collective action, to policy and regulatory reform
and, finally, to treaties and global action. How and where do
physicians insert themselves into that scheme to contribute to
the contribute to the protection of children’s health. Borrowing
from the mission statement for
Environmental Health Watch (EHW), physicians can effectively
champion the children’s environmental health agenda (and protection
of ecosystem health) by helping:
- people
protect their children and themselves from serious environmental
threats,
- influence
corporate, government and individual actions and,
- avoid
both imprudent complacency and unnecessary alarm"
