Sun exposure, secondhand smoke, and lead are three of the most common sources of environmental injury for young children. Sun exposure can lead to skin damage and skin cancer later in life, as well as immediate effects like sunburn. Secondhand smoke exposure can increase the risk of respiratory infections, asthma, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Lead exposure can lead to developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. Nurses can teach parents how to avoid these hazards and protect their child's health.
