High altitude could influence the level of exposure to neonicotinoids, but relevant data remain limited for people living in Tibet. We investigated 476 Tibetan pregnant women from Lhasa of Tibet, China in 2021 and measured eight neonicotinoids and four metabolites in urine. Food consumption was investigated by a food frequency questionnaire.

- Tibetan pregnant women at high altitudes (over 4500 m) were studied for antibiotic exposure, finding that 34.7% had detectable levels of antibiotics in their urine.
- Higher detection rates of veterinary and human/veterinary antibiotics were linked to dietary habits, specifically the consumption of animal-derived foods like milk, poultry, and fish.
- Only a small percentage of women showed significant health risks from antibiotic exposure, with ciprofloxacin and tetracycline causing concerns related to microbiological effects and gut health.
