Description

Yasir Hassan Elhassan and co-authors present a 2024 pooled review of whether a mother's contact with hormone disrupting chemicals raises the odds of heart defects in her baby. They gather fifty-nine studies up to mid 2024 and grade their quality. Measures split by how contact was judged.

When contact was measured in body samples, the link to heart defects was clear and strong. Heavy metals, burnt fuel compounds, and long lived stain resistant chemicals stood out. When contact was judged by job or place, no clear overall link showed. Housing renovation chemicals were an exception there. The authors urge less exposure in pregnancy and more work on how the harm occurs.
