Pregnancy is one of the stages of greatest vulnerability to environmental pollutants. Prenatal exposure to substances found in the air, water, food, and various everyday products can influence fetal development and affect health throughout life. This book presents an updated review of the scientific evidence on the main environmental pollutants-air pollution, tobacco, endocrine disruptors, PFAS, micro- and nanoplastics, toxic metals, pesticides, and other emerging pollutants- as well as their mechanisms of action, effects on pregnancy and child development, and prevention strategies. With an interdisciplinary and evidence-based approach, this book serves as a reference tool for students, researchers, and health science professionals interested in understanding and preventing environmental risks from the very beginning of life.
