Behavioral problems in early childhood are associated with a pregnant woman s exposure to tobacco smoke and pollution from road traffic, revealed a recent study led by a team from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by the la Caixa Foundation.
The study, published in Environmental International, is the first to investigate the impact of the exposome i.e. the set of all environmental exposures, both chemical and non-chemical, during the prenatal and postnatal stages on child behaviour. Previous research had assessed the impact of environmental exposures separately but not as a whole.
