The PEHSU Network has prepared a series of fact sheets on emerging environmental health topics. They provide a summary and references related to the potential health effects of environmental toxins. In addition, they contain useful information for communicating with families, and recommendations for risk reduction. Versions of these fact sheets designed for use as patient handouts and for the general public can be found on the Fact Sheets for the General Public page.
