LDDI Consensus Statement http://www.iceh.org/LDDI.html Given the
established knowledge, protecting children from neurotoxic
environmental exposures from the earliest stages of fetal
development clearly is an essential public health measure if we are
to help prevent learning and developmental disorders and create an
environment in which children can reach and maintain their full
potential.

face of uncertainty Shifting the burden of responsibility to the
proponents of an activity (Who benefits?) Exploring a wide range of
alternatives to possibly harmful actions (Is it necessary?)
Increasing public participation in decision making (transparency of
information & environmental justice) Central components
