The exposome concept aims to account for the comprehensive and cumulative effects of physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial influences on biological systems. To date, limited exposome research has explicitly included climate change-related exposures. We define these exposures as those that will intensify with climate change, including direct effects like extreme heat, tropical cyclones, wildfires, downstream effects like air pollution, power outages, and limited or contaminated food and water supplies.

- Childhood sleep quality is influenced by factors such as maternal stress during pregnancy and can predict later health outcomes.
- The study examined data to understand how prenatal stress relates to sleep quality in children aged 4-8, finding that both prenatal and postnatal stress have significant effects.
- Results indicate that postnatal stress mediates the impact of prenatal stress on sleep issues, highlighting the need for further research on maternal mental health and child sleep disturbances.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how being exposed to certain chemicals called phthalates during pregnancy could affect a baby's memory when they are around 7.5 months old.
- Phthalates are found in many products we use, and they might cause extra stress in the body, known as oxidative stress.
- The researchers found that higher levels of certain phthalates in pregnant mothers were linked to more oxidative stress and could affect how well babies remember new things.
