The 9th annual Children’s Environmental Health (CEH) Day is Oct. 10, 2024.

First observed in 2018 by the Children’s Environmental Health Network, this observance serves as a platform for education and advocacy, emphasizing that children are particularly vulnerable to environmental hazards.

In the September issue of the ECHO Connector, we highlight a recent scoping review, by Emily Barrett, PhD, MA from Rutgers University and colleagues, which assessed the impact of chemical exposures on maternal and child health using ECHO Cohort data.

In addition, ECHO researchers have published 1,800+ journal articles investigating how a broad range of early environmental influences affects child health outcomes.

Our investigators are helping to advance understanding of how chemical exposures and other influences impact the health and well-being of children and families. Learn what we’re finding about chemical exposures at echochildren.org. You can find out more about CEH Day and learn how to get involved at cehday.org.

I also hope you’ll join ECHO on Oct. 9 at 12 pm ET on X for a social media chat hosted by the Children’s Environmental Health Network.

Thank you as always for your support.
