The coincidence of multiple inequities in health—and as an interlinked concept, the multifaceted nature of poverty—make for a very complex field. Those living at the margins of society suffer numerous and overlapping inequities in health, in voice, in agency, in living conditions. Often, their poverty and ill health keep them in a life of perpetual quicksand. Just as an intervention might spare a child from malaria only to have her die a year later of measles, a policy change in the health sector might be successful in eliminating one source of inequity (. access to care). | CHILDREN S EXPOSURE to ELEMENTAL MERCURY A NATIONAL REVIEW of EXPOSURE EVENTS Atsdr The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Mercury Workgroup FebrUary 2009 Children s Exposure to Elemental Mercury A National Review of Exposure Events Reported by The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Mercury Workgroup Richard E.
