According to a recent article in USA Today, “there’s no place like home” for your littlest ones to pick up harmful household toxins.
Dr. Greene told the newspaper that crawling infants, with their inquisitive fingers and near perfect radar to find every dust bunny in the room, can take in two to five times more household dust than adults. They’re much more susceptible to harmful household toxins from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) because of their tiny size.
