Title

PATHWAYS OF EXPOSURE TO POTENTIALLY HARMFUL CHEMICALS

Short Description

During the 2009 legislative session, the Toxic Free Kids Act was passed and signed into law by the governor. This legislation requires the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to create two lists of chemicals: one list called “Chemicals of High Concern” and one called “Priority Chemicals.”

The Toxic Free Kids (TFK) program is housed in the Environmental Surveillance and Assessment Section within the Environmental Health Division and supports the MDH mission to protect, maintain, and improve the health of all Minnesotans.

The Toxic Free Kids program has created a brief factsheet explaining toxic chemical exposures. It is available in English, Hmong, Somali, and Spanish.
