Explain why children are at a higher risk of suffering negative effects from environmental hazards than adults.

Children are at a higher risk of suffering from environmental hazards than adults because they don't have a fully developed immune system, an increased exposure when they're outside because kids love to play outside, and they take in more air mass than they're natural body weight.

children's immune system is much more weaker than adults. enviromental hazards can unbalance their homeostasis.
