Fetus and newborn affected by maternal exposure to environmental chemical substances - what does this mean

Fetal and newborn exposure to environmental chemical substances occurs when a pregnant mother is exposed to toxins in the environment, such as air pollution, lead, and other chemicals. these toxins can be passed through the placenta to the fetus, leading to health effects in the fetus and newborn, including birth defects, developmental delays, and other health problems.

What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by maternal exposure to environmental chemical substances

The pathogenesis of fetus and newborn affected by maternal exposure to environmental chemical substances is likely to be due to the toxic properties of the chemicals, which can be absorbed into the maternal bloodstream and passed on to the fetus. this can cause disruption of the normal development of the fetus, leading to physical and neurological abnormalities, as well as a range of other health problems.
