According to the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch, Dr. Maida P. Galvez, M.D., of Mount Sinai Medical Center recently addressed the League of Women Voters (LWV) regarding the environment and the state of children's health today.

From the article: “Children are more vulnerable than adults, pound per pound,” said Dr. Galvez. “They process toxins differently, and have windows of vulnerability. Their brains are developing, and they have more years of future life after the exposure, meaning a longer shelf life for the risk of disease later in their adult life.”
