development. Few epidemiological studies investigated placental weight sensitivity to …

Background: Data concerning the effects of prenatal exposures to phthalates and phenols
on fetal growth are limited in humans. Previous findings suggest possible effects of some …

Background Synthetic phenols and phthalates can interfere with biological pathways
involved in brain development. Despite the high within-subject temporal variability of urinary …

Objectives We applied three statistical approaches for evaluating associations between
prenatal urinary concentrations of a mixture of phthalate metabolites and birth weight …

Phthalates are non-persistent chemicals used in products of daily necessities. The evidence
on the relationship of prenatal phthalates exposure and preterm birth remain uncertain and …

Background Many phthalates and phenols are hormonally active and are suspected to alter
the course of development. Objective We investigated prenatal exposures to phthalate and …

Background Parental preconception exposure to select phenols and phthalates was
previously associated with increased risk of preterm birth in single chemical analyses …

Studies of the effects on pregnancy outcomes of in utero exposure to phthalates,
contaminants that are widely present in the environment, have yielded conflicting results. In …

Background: There are increasing concerns over adverse effects of prenatal phthalate
exposure on the neurodevelopment of infants. Objectives: Our goal was to explore the …
