Toxic chemicals and child development

These articles at CTV and this one at The Independent provide a summary of a study published by the Lancet on the effect of industrial chemicals on brain development. The full study is available if you are registered with The Lancet website. The study title is "Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals" if you want to read the actual study.

How many more times will chemical pollution be identified as a cause for serious health effects before any meaningful changes are made to the use of these chemicals? Please be aware of where these chemicals are in your daily life and try to protect yourselves and, especially, your children.
