Maryland has made great strides in reducing lead paint poisoning among children and in improving the outdoor air they breathe, but more needs to be done to keep track of the extent of other environmental hazards and their links to kids' health, according to a report released this morning by state health and environmental officials.
While touting previously reported dramatic decreases in the number of children with elevated blood lead levels and an equally significant drop in ozone levels in Maryland, officials said they are launching an effort to better compile and keep track of such issues as pesticide levels in children, their exposure to pharmaceuticals in the water and where serious asthma cases are most concentrated. Officials also said efforts must be made to address racial and geographical disparities found in exposures to environmental toxins and disease.
Some of the information is out there, said Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene John M. Colmers, while some of it will take more work to find and compile.
'It's connecting the dots,' he said. 'In the case of children, environmental hazards early in life can have profound effects on their development.' If authorities aren't understanding the ways in which there problems impact growing children, 'we all pay for that,' he said.

FRIDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- High levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions from gas stoves can aggravate asthma symptoms in inner-city children, especially pre-schoolers, a new study says.
