EPA Celebrates Children’s Health Month with New Publication
In honor of Children’s Health Month, the EPA is releasing its publication, Children’s Environmental Health: 2007 Highlights. This publication, seventh in an annual series, highlights EPA work to protect children from environmental risks.
This year makes the tenth year of explicit attention to the health of children following the Executive Order of 1997, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. EPA has funded research on how the environment affects children’s health, promoted the education of health care providers, assembled data to quantify the extent of the issues and been an international leader of children’s health issues. The 2007 report captures all this and more.
