The findings from the CHAMACOS study have significant implications for clinical practice in Pediatrics:
Risk Assessment: Pediatricians can use this information to assess the environmental risks in their patients' backgrounds and advise parents accordingly. Preventive Measures: Recommendations can be made to avoid pesticide exposure, such as using integrated pest management and advocating for organic produce. Policy Advocacy: Pediatricians can advocate for policies that reduce environmental exposures to harmful chemicals, protecting future generations.
