Area of Science:

Reproductive toxicology
Occupational health
Environmental medicine

Background:

Growing awareness of reproductive health risks from occupational and environmental exposures.
Need for understanding interactions between pregnancy physiology and workplace conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To educate clinicians on normal pregnancy physiological changes.
To explain how these changes interact with electronics industry working conditions.
To review reproductive hazards associated with electronics industry exposures.

Main Methods:

Literature review of reproductive hazards.
Analysis of physiological changes during pregnancy.
Examination of working conditions in the electronics industry.
