Prenatal chemical mixtures may influence fetal growth and placental health

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260517/Prenatal-chemical-mixtures-may-influence-fetal-growth-and-placental-health.aspx Common environmental chemicals could affect birthweight and placental function, according to a new study published in Environmental Science & Technology and led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by "la Caixa" Foundation. Conducted within the Barcelona Life Study Cohort (BiSC), the research underscores the importance of considering real-life exposure to complex chemical mixtures and highlights the role of angiogenic biomarkers in linking these exposures to fetal development.
