In the last 70 years, more than 75,000 synthetic chemicals and metals have been put to use in America - chemicals that in many cases make our lives easier and better. They kill insects and weeds, clean our clothes and carpets, unclog our drains, create produce and lawns as pretty as a picture. But most of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxic effects on children. And scientists are concerned that recent increases in childhood illnesses like asthma and cancer, as well as learning disabilities, may be related to the environment, to what kids eat, drink and breathe. KIDS AND CHEMICALS, a special edition of NOW, features medical investigators and health officials engaged in the latest research on links between childhood illness and environmental contamination.58m18E18As Goes Maine...30m19E19A Dirty War30m20E20Vested Interest30m21E21D-Day Reunion30m22E22The Muslim Brotherhood's Change of Heart30m23E23Toxic Communities30m24E24Radiologist Roulette30m25E25Leasing the Rain30m26E26Justice and Jihad30m27E27Toxic E-Waste30m28E28The Last Stop30m29E29The Cost of Coal30m30E30We Dissent30m31E31The Earth Debate30m32E32Losing Ground30m33E33Taking Liberties30m34E34City in a Bowl30m35E35Risky Business30m36E36Seeds of Conflict30m37E37Voices of Dissent30m38E38Buying Access30m39E39Kids and Commercials30m40E40Democracy in Danger30m41E41Wal-Mart and Wages30m42E42Gun Land30m43E43Science for Sale?30m44E44Exploring Creativity30m45E45Henry Kissinger30m46E46The Middle-Class Squeeze30m47E47Troubled Waters30m48E48Kids and Chemicals30m
