Pediatric Nursing's Environmental Health Section Editor invites you to consider submitting articles for consideration for publication in the area of children's environmental health. Although our profession has it roots in public health and the environment, it has taken strong nursing leaders of today to bring these issues back to the forefront of nursing education.

Pediatric Nursing and the editorial staff are committed to educating acute care and community based nurses in a broad range of issues, including EH. The column focuses on emerging as well as existing EH issues in the pediatric population. The selected topic is described via a case study (though not always necessary), a brief rundown on the current science, the health implications for children, and, most importantly, the resources for the practicing nurse. Resources focus on professional, parent and patient education available on the Internet.

Topics over the last two years have included mercury, arsenic, breast milk contaminants, diethylhexyl phthalate, petting zoos, indoor air and an interview with past-Chair Nsedu Obot Witherspoon, MPH. Research pieces will be accepted for review as well.

Please review our Web site at <www.pediatricnursing.net> for more information, including author guidelines. One particular theme we (NOTE: Pediatric Nursing and your Section Leadership) want to promote is the collaboration across disciplines. Please consider us.
