Mercury and arsenic are known developmental toxicants. Prenatal exposures are
associated with adverse childhood health outcomes that could be in part mediated by …

Background: Mercury is a global pollutant, and prenatal exposure is associated with adverse
health effects. To date, no studies have evaluated the association between prenatal mercury …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous heavy metal that originates from both natural and
anthropogenic sources and is transformed in the environment to its most toxicant form …

Background: There is increasing epidemiologic evidence that arsenic exposure in utero,
even at low levels found throughout much of the world, is associated with adverse …

Prenatal arsenic exposure is associated with increased risk of disease in adulthood. This
has led to considerable interest in arsenic's ability to disrupt fetal programming. Many …

Background: Human exposure to the widespread environmental contaminant mercury is a
known risk factor for common diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and …

Background Prenatal exposure to essential and non-essential metals impacts birth and child
health, including fetal growth and neurodevelopment. DNA methylation (DNAm) may be …

Background: Arsenic is an epigenetic toxicant and could influence fetal developmental
programming. Objectives: We evaluated the association between arsenic exposure and …

Abstract Background Methylmercury (MeHg) is present in fish and is a neurotoxicant at
sufficiently high levels. One potential mechanism of MeHg toxicity early in life is epigenetic …

Background: Arsenic is one of the most commonly encountered environmental toxicants,
and research from model systems has suggested that one mode of its toxic activity may be …
