Environmental hazards impact child health, particularly birth outcomes from in utero chemical exposure. Precautionary measures are needed to reduce risks associated with environmental pollution and chemical exposures.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health Sciences
  • Pediatric Health
  • Reproductive Toxicology

Background:

  • Growing concern exists regarding the influence of environmental hazards on children's health.
  • Identifying the role of environmental contaminants in adverse birth outcomes is a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize published evidence on the impact of chemical exposures on birth outcomes.
  • To assess the effects of environmental pollution from various sources on prenatal development.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of the published scientific literature.
  • Analysis of studies investigating the link between environmental chemical exposures and birth outcomes.

Main Results:
