Limericks by Toni Hayes. Paracelsus Paracelsus was so grandiose And perhaps just a little bit gross Manure, blood, and sand and thus you create man But what makes it a poison is dose!. The Undecided Dose Too much of a thing makes you blue But not having it can kill you too

LDDI Consensus Statement Scientific Consensus Statement on Environmental Agents Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders Developed by the Collaborative on Health and the Environment’s Learning and Developmental Disabilities Initiative November 7, 2007 http://www.iceh.org/LDDI.html
LDDI Consensus Statement Given the established knowledge, protecting children from neurotoxic environmental exposures from the earliest stages of fetal development clearly is an essential public health measure if we are to help prevent learning and developmental disorders and create an environment in which children can reach and maintain their full potential. http://www.iceh.org/LDDI.html
NW Public Health Public Health and the Precautionary Principle By Steven G. Gilbert See: http://healthlinks.washington.edu/nwcphp/nph/ nwph
Precautionary Principle “When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be take even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.” Wingspread Conference, 1998.
So Many Chemicals so Little Data 2863 above 1 Million pounds 12 or 0.4% good data 21.4% some data 78.2% no data www.preventingharm.org
The Consequences • Nearly 12 million children (17%) under age 18 in the US suffer from one or more developmental disabilities • Learning disabilities – 5-10% of kids in public school • ADHD – 3-6% of all school kids, maybe higher
