I am requesting new pesticide reports to see what has been sprayed prior to our schools getting out to current day.
The National Academy of Sciences finds that children are more susceptible to chemicals. Children take in more pesticides relative to body weight than adults and have developing organ systems that are more vulnerable and less able to detoxify toxic chemicals. Pesticides can increase susceptibility to certain cancers by breaking down the immune system's surveillance against cancer cells. Infants and children, the aged and the chronically ill are at greatest risk from chemically induced immune-suppression. Exposure to herbicides (weed killers) before the age of one is linked to a more than four-fold increase in childhood asthma.
