Will the pregnant women watch TV feely?
Yes. By using the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) instead of the traditional screen, the radiation will become lower, and increase the Refresh rates which is an effective technology which will contribute more in reduce the bad influence factors for people health of watching TV especially for pregnant women. Additionally, there will be some clothes which can protect the health of babies.
"Whether childern live on a farm in Fairmont, in an apartment in Phillips, or a split–level home in Woodbury, Minnesota children live in an environment vastly different from that of previous generations. It's not Pokèmon or technology that's made the difference. It's the 80,000 man–made chemicals that touch every part of the environment, including the children themselves.
Toxins to the brain and nervous system, such as mercury and PCBS, contaminate tuna and other fish, including many Minnesota sport fish. Air pollutants like exhaust from diesel trucks and buses exacerbate children's asthma and bronchitis. Pesticide residues are widely found in some of children's favorite foods and in many drinking water systems. And pesticides — designed to kill — are regularly applied around homes and in schools.
The Minnesota Legislature is considering two bills that would help protect children from these toxins. SF2441, introduced by Sen. Ellen Anderson, would direct the Minnesota Department of Health to use children as the standard in risk assessment. HF2520, sponsored by Rep. Jean Wagenius, would give parents the right to know when pesticides are used at their children's schools.
In its landmark 1993 report, "Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children," the National Academy of Sciences found that children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental toxins. Pound for pound, children eat and drink more, and breathe more air than adults, so their exposures to pesticides in contaminated food, water and air can be several–fold higher.
Children's immature bodies metabolize, detoxify and excrete chemicals differently. Their brains, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems continue to grow and develop from conception to adolescence.
These delicate developmental processes are susceptible to disruption. If they are interrupted, pushed even slightly off course by exposure to toxins in the womb, during infancy and early childhood, lifelong consequences can result. Thus, children and pregnant women are at risk from chemical exposures at levels that would be safer for mature adults.
Studies in both humans and animals suggest that these low–level exposures to the young can cause subtle, but permanent damage to the brain, reproductive, immune or other organ systems that may not be apparent until later in life.
Because nearly all chemicals, including pesticides, are produced and marketed with very little testing for possible ill effects on the child's body or brain public health argues that we should exercise caution before exposing children to these chemicals.
That's why the National Academy of Sciences concluded in 1993 that in the absence of scientific data to the contrary, there should be a presumption of greater toxicity to children. Its basic message for protecting children: Better safe than sorry.
Children depend on a healthy, intact brain and nervous system to learn and become productive adults. Critical stages of brain development occurring during the first few years of life include brain cell growth, formation of connections between brain cells, and pruning of connections to assure optimal brain function.
Yet the academy found in 1993 that exposure to neurotoxic compounds at levels believed to be safe for adults could result in permanent loss of brain function if it occurred before birth or in early childhood."
