Children - Toxic-Free Future

Because children and babies have bodies and brains that are still developing, they are especially vulnerable to toxic chemicals and pollution.

Children are exposed to toxic chemicals found in toys, household textiles and furniture, personal care products, clothes, and building materials. Since infants and toddlers live closer to the ground, put their hands and objects in their mouths, and take in more food and water in proportion to their body weight, they can be more exposed to harmful chemicals. Babies are even exposed to chemicals such as PFAS and flame retardants found in breast milk!
