What Measures Can Be Taken to Prevent Developmental Abnormalities?
Prevention of developmental abnormalities involves minimizing exposure to known toxicants, particularly during pregnancy.

Prenatal care and nutritional support, including adequate intake of folic acid, are also important preventive measures.
