Children are particularly susceptible to toxic exposure due to several factors:
Developing Organs: Childrenâs organs and biological systems are still developing, making them more sensitive to toxic insults. Higher Metabolic Rate: Children have a higher metabolic rate, which can lead to increased absorption and faster distribution of toxins within their bodies. Behavioral Factors: Young children often explore the world through touch and taste, increasing their risk of exposure to toxic substances.
Understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial for developing effective safety guidelines and interventions to protect children from harmful exposures.
