What Are Some Examples of Transgenerational Effects in Toxicology?
Several studies provide examples of transgenerational effects resulting from toxicological exposures. For instance, prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a common plasticizer, has been linked to metabolic disorders and reproductive health issues that can affect not only the exposed individual but also their descendants. Similarly, exposure to pesticides and pollutants like dioxins has been associated with increased cancer risk and reproductive abnormalities in subsequent generations.
