The number of deaths among children because of poisoning continues to decline. Many segments of our society have worked together to achieve this result and we can be proud of their efforts. However, despite the progress we have made, the potential for poisoning is increasing. Medicines are being used more widely than before, and our advancing technology continues to make available for household use new products and materials which may be harmful if used improperly.
