The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, two leading groups of doctors and researchers, have found that environmental contaminants can adversely affect reproductive health. Their findings suggest that toxins in the environment are harming women’s ability to have children, as well as threatening the health of mother and child during pregnancy. The joint committee has issued a call for domestic policy changes, and are urging greater action by physicians to help prevent chemical exposure during pregnancy.
