OT/Nurses and Their Children at Risk

[Guest guest]

Nurses and Their Children at Risk A nationwide survey of more than 1,500

nurses suggests nurses -- and their children -- might be at risk from long-term

exposures to chemicals.

When caring for patients, nurses handle dozens of chemicals and drugs designed

to prevent and cure illnesses. Though the benefits of these treatments outweigh

the risks for most patients, the same may not be true for nurses.

They absorb a fraction of these substances, day after day. Only 6 of the

hundreds of chemicals studied have been tested for safety and have workplace

standards.
