Most people encounter a wide range of chemicals in their everyday lives, some of which are harmless and some of which are not. Potentially harmful chemicals in the environment are of particular concern for pregnant women, because infants who are exposed to toxic chemicals in the womb can face increased health risks. Early exposure to these chemicals can lead to adverse birth outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birthweight and greater risk for illness later in life, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
At this center, researchers are exploring how to measure the chemicals to which developing babies are exposed and how to study their health effects on early development. This center focuses on early exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that may interfere with a person’s hormonal system. BPA is widely used in plastic linings of drink packages, beverage cans, canned foods and other products, and the research findings may also help scientists learn about the effects of other hormone disrupting chemicals. The Center aims to develop new methods for early identification of harmful environmental exposures and to find ways to prevent diseases that may be triggered through such exposures. The researchers are communicating their findings to healthcare providers, policy makers and community groups to help prevent early exposures to harmful chemicals.
