Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether maternal exposure to various organic solvents during pregnancy is linked to preterm birth (PTB) or giving birth to small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants.
- Results showed that overall, there was no significant association between maternal occupational solvent exposure and the odds of PTB or SGA, although some increase in risk was noted at higher exposure levels, but it wasn't statistically significant.
- While the findings suggest that typical levels of solvent exposure in pregnant workers don’t significantly impact birth outcomes, the potential risks for those with very high exposure levels remain uncertain.
