Parents can take several steps to minimize hazards:
1. Ensure a safe home environment by childproofing and storing chemicals and medications out of reach. 2. Regularly check for lead paint in older homes. 3. Use non-toxic cleaning products and pesticides. 4. Monitor air quality and limit outdoor activities during high pollution days. 5. Educate children on safety practices to prevent injuries. 6. Keep up-to-date with vaccination schedules.
