‘If you want to learn about the health of a population look at the air they breathe, the water they drink and the places where they live’ – Hippocrates 15BC

For many parents, the importance of keeping our children as healthy as possible is critical. But it’s not so easy to do these days. There are over 100,000 synthetic chemicals available on the market with over 1500 new chemicals being produced annually. Over half of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body.

Read the ingredient list on the back of the products that you are currently using. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Cocamide DEA? Propylene Glycol? And some you probably can't pronounce such as Methylisothiazolinone and Diethanolamine? What are they? Are they natural or synthetic? And does it really matter?

Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Children in a Toxic World is one of a few resources in the world that supports parents, teachers, care givers and health practitioners in tackling the issue of toxic chemicals and their impact on the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

The book addresses some fundamental issues to children's health and wellbeing:
What are Chemicals?
What makes chemicals toxic?
How do they get into the human body?
What are the health and behavioural impacts on kids and young people?
Why are kids particularly susceptible to chemicals?
How do we currently measure chemicals and determine their safety?
What are the consumer assumptions that we make?
What are the alternatives?
What we as a society, community, and industry can do about it?

Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Children in a Toxic World brings together compelling research that includes interviews with Australian families who have been affected by environmental chemicals revealing how toxic chemicals in the environment play a critical role in our children's everyday health and wellbeing – food, food additives, food packaging; cosmetics and personal care products; over the counter and prescription drugs; household cleaning products. In a practical sense, Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Children in a Toxic World teaches the audience how to read labels and identify toxic and harmful ingredients leaving parents more empowered in asking the right questions about what is going into their children's bodies. Through her research, knowledge and experiences, the author of this book, Dr Lantz, brings new insights into a world of toxicity and related diseases caused by environmental chemicals that have gone relatively unnoticed for a long period of time.
