    Juričič, Mojca
    Children are not little adults. They are in dynamic state of growth and immature developing organs and tissues are more vulnerable to harm from toxic environmental exposure (from air, water, food, ... local and extended living environment). Children and youngsters are special vulnerable population. Theirbehaviour and activity patterns bring them into greater contact with toxins. Poor children and from different racial groups children generally experience the worst in environmental influence on health. Children are not little adults they are very different also in between. Currently is produced around 300 new chemicals everyday and production is from 1,3 billion in 1940 increased to 32 billion in 1980 and is still increasing. Little is known abouthealth side effects of the majority of these chemicals on children.
