Gestational exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in relation to infant birth weight: a Bayesian analysis of the
HOME Study
Background: Pregnant women are exposed to a mixture of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Gestational EDC exposures may be associated with changes in fetal growth that elevates the risk for poor health later in life, but few studies have examined the health effects of simultaneous exposure to multiple chemicals.
