Prenatal chromium exposure and risk of preterm birth: a cohort study in Hubei, China

Abstract Few studies have investigated the association of environmental chromium exposure and preterm birth in general population. This study was designed to investigate whether maternal chromium exposure during pregnancy is associated with reduced gestational age or risk of preterm birth using the...
