Fetal Exposure to Environmental Neurotoxins in Taiwan
Mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) are recognized neurotoxins in children that particularly affect neurodevelopment and intellectual performance. Based on the hypothesis that the fetal basis of adult disease is fetal toxic exposure that results in adverse outcomes in adulthood, we explored the concentrations of key neurotoxins (i.e., Hg, Pb, Cd, and As) in meconium to ident...
متن کاملFETAL DEATHS AND PARENTAL EXPOSURE TO CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS
In the present work we studied the incidence of fetal deaths among conceptions whose fathers or both parents were survivors of chemical warfare attacks by Iraq. We showed that there was significant correlation between frequency of fetal deaths among conceptions which eventuated after exposure of the parents to gas bombs compared to the frequency of fetal deaths among the control group. Thi...
متن کاملGLI3 Links Environmental Arsenic Exposure and Human Fetal Growth
Although considerable evidence suggests that in utero arsenic exposure affects children's health, these data are mainly from areas of the world where groundwater arsenic levels far exceed the World Health Organization limit of 10 μg/L. We, and others, have found that more common levels of in utero arsenic exposure may also impact children's health. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms a...
متن کاملIn utero exposure to low doses of environmental pollutants disrupts fetal ovarian development in sheep
Epidemiological studies of the impact of environmental chemicals on reproductive health demonstrate consequences of exposure but establishing causative links requires animal models using 'real life' in utero exposures. We aimed to determine whether prolonged, low-dose, exposure of pregnant sheep to a mixture of environmental chemicals affects fetal ovarian development. Exposure of treated ewes ...
متن کاملEnvironmental exposure to lithium during pregnancy and fetal size: a longitudinal study in the Argentinean Andes.
BACKGROUND Lithium, used for treating bipolar disease, crosses freely the placenta and is classified as teratogenic. It is unclear to what extent environmental lithium exposure may affect fetal growth and development. OBJECTIVES To elucidate potential effects of lithium exposure through drinking water during pregnancy on fetal size. METHODS We developed a prospective population-based mother...
