ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Exposure to non-persistent chemicals in consumer products is
ubiquitous and associated with endocrine-disrupting effects. These effects have been linked …

Growing evidence supports the importance of men's exposure to non-persistent endocrine
disruptors (EDCs) and couple fecundability, as measured by time-to-pregnancy (TTP). This …

Pregnancy is a unique period when biological changes can increase sensitivity to chemical
exposures. Pregnant women are exposed to multiple environmental chemicals via air, food …

Compelling evidence suggests that human exposure to some toxic chemicals can have
lifelong and even intergenerational effects on reproduction and development. Generations …
