A significant portion of EaRTH's research focuses on understanding development and reproduction across all life stages, from the placenta and pregnancy to birth outcomes and childhood. This area is critically important because these stages are highly susceptible to environmental chemicals, which can disrupt normal development and lead to long-term health issues. By studying these vulnerable periods, we aim to uncover how chemical exposures affect growth and development, helping to protect future generations.
