Description: "All across the U.S., growing numbers of children are being diagnosed with asthma, childhood cancers, and learning and behavioral disabilities. Is exposure to an ever-increasing number of untested chemicals to blame? In this program, Bill Moyers investigates the relationship between environmental contamination and the health of America's children. Dr. Philip Landrigan, of Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Dr. Richard Jackson, of the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health; Dr. Frederica Perera, of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health; and other medical investigators and health officials discuss their findings. In addition, families whose children are coping with potential chemical poisoning talk about their anger and their fears."--Container.
