★ Part01 外刊原文 ★

　　Children today are also exposed to increasing quantities of toxic chemicals. We know that children, because their biological systems are still developing, are uniquely vulnerable to the dangers posed by many common chemical compounds. We also know that corporations often use such chemicals as key ingredients in children’s products, saturating their environments. Yet these chemicals remain in circulation, as current federal laws demand unreasonably high proof of harm before curbing a chemical’s use.

　　当今的儿童还面临日益增加的有毒化学物质的危害。我们知道，孩子的生理系统仍处于发育阶段，因此特别容易受到许多种常见化合物的侵害。我们也知道，公司通常使用这些化学物质作为生产儿童产品的主要成分，这些产品充斥着孩子们的生活环境。然而，这些化学物质仍处于流通状态，因为现在的联邦法律荒谬地要求，在限制一种化学物质使用之前，必须找到证明这种化学物质有害的强有力的证据。
