Impact/Purpose:

The specific aims of the project are to: (1) characterize exposures from pregnancy through early childhood to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), non-persistent pesticides (NPP), environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), allergens, endotoxins, and molds; and (2) measure specific genetic polymorphisms and nutritional levels that may modulate effects of these exposures.

Description:

The Exposure Assessment Facility Core will continue to collect environmental measures including personal and indoor air monitoring and repeat collection of dust samples from the home and biologic measures including urine and blood samples collected from the mother during pregnancy and at delivery and from the child at delivery through age 84 months.
