Objective:
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.
