Exposure to wildfire smoke may negatively impact birth outcomes: Study

Exposure to wildfire smoke and heat stress both before and during pregnancy may be associated with adverse outcomes at birth, a new study has found. Such links were particularly pronounced when exposure occurred during the month before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy, researchers reported  in the study, published in Environmental Science & Technology.…

Study links wildfire smoke exposure and heat stress to adverse birth outcomes

Exposure to wildfire smoke and heat stress can negatively affect birth outcomes for women, especially in climate-vulnerable neighborhoods, according to a recent study led by USC postdoctoral researcher Roxana Khalili, Ph.D.

Prenatal mycotoxin exposure linked to lower birthweight

A new study finds that exposure to mycoestrogens during pregnancy may reduce birthweight and impair placental efficiency, with climate change expected to increase exposure risks.
