Association between maternal exposure to phthalates and lower language ability in offspring derived from hair metabolome analysis

Abstract The fetus undergoes a crucial period of neurodevelopment in utero. The maternal hair metabolome provides an integrated record of the metabolic state of the mother prior to, and during pregnancy. We investigated whether variation in the maternal hair metabolome was associated with neurodevel...
