America’s Children and the Environment brings
together, in one place, quantitative information from a variety
of sources to show trends in levels of environmental contaminants
in air, water, food, and soil; concentrations of contaminants measured
in the bodies of mothers and children; and childhood diseases that
may be influenced by environmental factors. For a guide to all of
the measures included in this site, see the Summary
