Pediatric Research Group Calls For Adoption of Pollution Commission Recommendations

“All nations should adopt the (Pollution) Commission’s recommendations, much like how physicians have adopted the Hippocratic Oath.”

That was the strong statement issued by the Society for Pediatric Research Advocacy Committee in The Lancet. They continued:

“As the Lancet Commission recommends, governments must work internationally with scientists to reduce the gap between what we know and how we respond. Such action relies on researchers following the Commission’s recommendations to establish causality between environmental toxins and human health, to consider the cost-effectiveness of mitigating technologies, to implement technologies that are generalisable to various settings, and to work alongside officials in public health and public policy to sustain these efforts.”
