Article Synopsis
- Recent studies link endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to issues with placental growth and function, which could cause complications in fetal development, particularly asymmetric growth restriction.
- This study focused on pregnant women at a hospital in Seoul and analyzed urine and blood samples to measure exposure to specific EDCs, particularly bisphenol-A (BPA), monoethyl phthalates, and perfluorooctanoic acid.
- Results revealed that higher levels of BPA in both mothers and fetuses correlated with abnormal growth patterns in fetuses, suggesting that BPA exposure could contribute to asymmetric fetal growth restriction.
