Abstract | A review of a medical database examined health risks to children living and working on farms. Numbers of at-risk children and the laws governing child farm work are discussed. Farm youth experienced exposures to potentially harmful chemicals and disproportionately high rates of work-related fatalities. Long-term health effects of chemical exposure are unknown, but children's developmental vulnerabilities are a concern. (Contains 46 references.) (TD) |
