Prenatal Development: During pregnancy, the developing fetus is particularly susceptible to the effects of environmental toxins. Exposure to substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, air pollutants, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals can interfere with fetal growth and development, increasing the risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and other adverse outcomes.
Neurological Health: Many environmental toxins have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and cognitive impairments in children. Limiting exposure during pregnancy and early childhood can help reduce the risk of these conditions.
Endocrine Disruption: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in certain plastics, pesticides, and personal care products can interfere with hormone function, potentially affecting reproductive health, sexual development, and metabolism in both mothers and children.
Breastfeeding: Maternal exposure to environmental toxins can also impact breastfeeding infants. Toxins can be transferred to infants through breast milk, potentially affecting their health and development. Minimising maternal exposure can help reduce the transfer of toxins to nursing infants.
Cumulative Effects: It's important to recognise that exposure to multiple environmental toxins can have cumulative effects on maternal and child health. Even low levels of exposure to individual toxins can add up over time, increasing the overall risk of adverse health outcomes.
