UNITED NATIONS, July 29 (APP) -- A new report by the U.N. World Health Organization (WHO) says that environmental hazards are responsible for the deaths of several million children every year.

The report, titled Principles for Evaluating Health Risks in Children Associated with Exposure to Chemicals, highlights the fact that in children, the stage in their development when exposure occurs may be just as important as the magnitude of the exposure.

Its WHO's first ever report focusing on children's special susceptibility to harmful chemical exposures at different periods of their growth.

"Children are not just small adults," said Dr Terri Damstra, the Geneva-based WHO's team leader for the Interregional Research Unit.

"Children are especially vulnerable and respond differently from adults when exposed to environmental factors - and this response may differ according to the different periods of development they are going through."

According to the expert, children's lungs are not fully developed at birth, or even at the age of eight, and lung maturation may be altered by air pollutants that induce acute respiratory effects in childhood and may be the origin of chronic respiratory disease later in life.

The report points out that air and water contaminants, pesticides in food, lead in soil, as well many other environmental threats which alter the delicate organism of a growing child may cause or worsen disease and induce developmental problems.

Over 30 percent of the global burden of disease in children can be attributed to environmental factors, the report says.

According to the report, the vulnerability of children is increased in degraded and poor environments.  Neglected and malnourished  children suffer the most.

One in five children in the poorest parts of the world will not live longer than their fifth birthday - mainly because of environment- related diseases.

Poisonous Compounds in Water

 Poisonous compounds are now found in most Australin Municipal household water supplies, resulting from the addition of the highly toxic industrial waste  Disodiumodium Hexafluorosilicate Na2SiF6. Also known as Sodium Fluoride  or common Fluoride. This industrial waste product is known to contain Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Fluoride, Radium, Barium, Beryllium and Polonium-2.10. Many scientists claim it to be, Radio Active.

Babies Brains Miswired 

 Dr Russell Blaylock - Neurosurgeon - "Researchers examined the Brains of Aborted Babies five to eight months into a pregnancy who were from areas having high levels of Fluoride in the drinking water, yet within EPA guidelines. The Brain cells of these babies were grossly abnormal, nerve fibres were not even compatible with typical human nerve fibres, they were misplaced and swollen. These brains were miswired."

 Mothers Losing Babies

In 2006, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, there were more than 2,900 perinatal deaths in Australia. In addition, each year many more parents experience the loss of a baby early in the pregnancy. Sadly, one in every four pregnancies ends in a loss from miscarriage and stillbirth. http://www.sandsvic.org.au/ 

Dr. Vyvyan Howard explains how Fluoride in

Drinking Water effects your Baby

 Dr. Vyvyan Howard, President of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment, explains his concerns about water fluoridation. Dr. Howard is a medical toxico-pathologist who specializes in the impact of toxins on fetal and infant health. In this video, Dr. Howard discusses his concerns about fluoride's impact on infant health. To learn more, also see: http://fluoridealert.org

We have  therefore chosen to support the removal of  Disodiumodium Hexafluorosilicate  ( Fluoride ) from your household Water Supply for the sake of your children and entire family.

We ask that all Parents become aware of the Toxic nature of Sodium Fluoide and its merciless effects on the foetus, infants and children. Also see videos and research at      www.goldcoastwaterwatch.webs.com
