Same is true of mercury.  The two together is much worse, synergistic. 1 + 1 does not in that case = 2, but 5 or 6 or 7....

  The First Six Years is a grass roots organization  whose primary mandate is the promotion of optimal social, physical, and environmental conditions for the development of healthy productive children.  We achieve this goal through the use of  environmental monitoring and surveillance and public and professional education.



  We recognize that the first six years of a child's life is an important period of brain and nervous system development.  Childhood, extending from the prenatal period to approximately age five years is a time of rapid growth and development.  This makes children highly susceptible to the toxic influences of environmental threats such as lead, mercury, PCBs, pesticides and ionizing radiation.
