UC policy report says chemical exposures cost state estimated $2.6 billion

Serious gaps in existing laws regulating the production and use of hazardous chemicals fail to protect public health and the environment, according to a report by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and UCLA. As a result of this inadequate oversight, chemical and pollution-related diseases among children and workers in California cost the state's insurers, businesses and families an estimated $2.6 billion in direct and indirect costs, says the report, which includes a set of recommended policy reforms for the state.

I created HEALTHY KIDS: THE KEY TO BASICS for students who require some extra thought and planning to enable them to attend school safely and successfully. Programs, services and materials are designed to help parents, health professionals and schools share exemplary programs and resources to prevent disruption at school and at work. Another goal is to inspire policy makers to see new opportunities for leadership on behalf of children.
