This is the second EPA report on trends in environmental factors related to the health & well-being of children in the U.S. It brings together, in one place, quantitive information from a variety of sources to show trends in levels of environmental contaminants in air, water, food, & soil; concentrations of contaminants measured in the bodies of children & women; & childhood illnesses that may be influenced by exposure to environmental contaminants. The report, based on the best data available at this time, is an important benchmark to guide future EPA actions & measure progress, to develop increasingly reliable children's environmental health indicators that will help in reaching our children's health goals.
