Early life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are widespread and can migrate into the air, water, and food. Maternal exposure to EDCs can transfer them to the fetus through the placenta and to infants through breastfeeding, potentially leading to a range of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring.
