It is astonishing to the point of regret that the media has not widely reported the role of aggression and toxic chemicals. In 1992 the Congressional ban on ocean dumping of sewage sludge went into effect. When this ill-fated decision on sludge dumping was implemented, the Columbine gun boys were a tender 10 and 11 years old. Now commercially grown produce is subject to more chemical defilement then ever before in American history. Many studies have documented human risk to pesticide exposure.
Children are a more sensi-tive population than adults.
You cannot think of children as small adults they are growing rapidly and are more vulnerable to chemical exposure. They absorb more toxic agents and have not fully formed a protective blood brain barrier. Therefore an exposure that has no measurable effect on an adult can cause a deleterious reaction in children. Children are more susceptible to pollutants than are adults. Furthermore, babies fed infant formula rather than breast milk will absorb more heavy metals, such as manganese than will a breast-fed child or an adult.
