What Are the Long-term Implications of Prenatal Toxicant Exposure?
Exposure to toxicants during prenatal development can have long-term implications for the individual. These may include physical malformations, neurological deficits, and increased susceptibility to chronic diseases later in life. For instance, prenatal exposure to alcohol can result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which encompass a range of physical and cognitive impairments.
