目标
回顾最近有关环境化学物质对儿童健康危害的医学文献。
数据来源
在 MEDLINE 数据库中检索了 1999 年至 2005 年间发表的有关该主题的文章。还审查了美国儿科学会和世界卫生组织等机构发布的有关儿童环境健康的书籍、手册和声明。
调查结果摘要
过去几年，人们越来越关注儿童接触环境化学物质的问题。如今，大约生产 85,000 种合成化学品，其中 2,800 种已实现批量生产。关于它们对发育中的生物体的影响知之甚少。儿童比成人更容易接触环境污染物，因为他们的新陈代谢需求和行为（例如：爬行、将物体放到嘴里、靠近地面玩耍）使他们在呼吸、进食、喝水或玩耍时面临接触化学物质的特殊风险。重金属、杀虫剂、持久性有机污染物以及家庭环境中的烟草烟雾与哮喘、神经发育障碍和儿童癌症等越来越多的疾病有关。
结论
随着儿科医生对减少儿童和青少年接触环境化学品的措施的更大承诺，使用环境历史等工具筛查风险情况得到了刺激。
OBJECTIVES
To review the recent medical literature on environmental chemical hazards to child health.
SOURCES OF DATA
Articles published on this subject between 1999 and 2005 were searched in the MEDLINE database. Books, manuals and statements on child environmental health, issued by institutions such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization, were also reviewed.
SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS
There has been a growing concern in the last few years with the exposure of children to environmental chemicals. Around 85,000 synthetic chemicals are produced today, and 2,800 of them are mass-produced. There is little knowledge regarding their effects on developing organisms. Children have a greater exposure to environmental pollutants than adults, because their metabolic needs and behaviors (e.g.: crawling, bringing objects to the mouth, playing closer to the ground) put them at special risk of contact with chemicals when they breathe, eat, drink or play. Heavy metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants and, at home, environmental tobacco smoke have been associated with the increasing number of diseases such as asthma, neurodevelopmental disorders and childhood cancer.
CONCLUSION
Screening of risk situations using tools such as Environmental History has been stimulated alongside a greater commitment of pediatricians towards measures that can reduce the exposure of children and adolescents to environmental chemicals.
