dc.description.abstractChildren who exposed to the chemicals used for making methamphetamine face acute health and safety risks, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and medical neglect. The normal activities of young children increase the likelihood that they will inhale, absorb, or ingest toxic chemicals, drugs, or contaminated food. Their physiological characteristics leave them particularly vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemical exposures. Exposure places infants at increased risk for neurological abnormalities and respiratory problems. Personnel involved in laboratory seizures should include or have ready access to qualified professionals who can respond to the immediate and potential health needs of the children present at these sites.
