Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of industrial chemicals due to several factors:
1. Developmental Sensitivity: Children's bodies and organs are still developing, making them more susceptible to the toxic effects of chemicals. 2. Behavioral Factors: Children are more likely to come into contact with chemicals due to behaviors such as hand-to-mouth activities. 3. Higher Intake Proportions: Children eat, drink, and breathe more per unit of body weight compared to adults, leading to higher exposure levels.
