Babies have more sensitive skin than adults and are more sensitive to chemicals.
Their internal organs are still developing and maturing.
Babies spend as much as 70% of their time in their cribs – breathing healthy, clean air is important.
In relation to their body weight, infants and children eat and drink more than adults, possibly increasing their exposure to pesticides in food and water.
Activities such as playing on floors or lawns or putting objects in their mouths, increase a child's exposure to pesticides used in clothes, homes and yards.
Consider:
An eco-friendly crib (with low/zero VOC stains & paints; ie., no off-gassing).
