Cognitive development in preschool children prenatally exposed to PCBs and MeHg
TL;DR: Results reported here suggest that functional recovery may occur in subjects with higher levels of prenatal PCB exposure, and the interaction between PCB and MeHg cannot be considered conclusive until it has been replicated in subsequent investigations.

Maternal cadmium exposure during pregnancy and size at birth: a prospective cohort study.
Maria Kippler,Fahmida Tofail,Fahmida Tofail,Renee M. Gardner,Anisur Rahman,Jena D. Hamadani,Matteo Bottai,Marie Vahter +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence of a sex difference in the association between maternal Cd exposure in pregnancy and birth size is found, which was apparent only in girls, adding support for the need to reduce Cd pollution to improve public health.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in umbilical cord blood and relevant factors in neonates from Guiyu, China.
TL;DR: PBDE levels significantly differed in neonates by normal birth and adverse birth outcomes including stillbirth, low birth weight, and premature delivery, which still needs to be evaluated in larger epidemiological studies.

Yongyong Guo,Xia Huo,Yan Li,Kusheng Wu,Junxiao Liu,Jingrong Huang,Guina Zheng,Qiongna Xiao,Hui Yang,Yuanping Wang,Aimin Chen,Xijin Xu +11 more
TL;DR: Investigation of concentrations of heavy metals in placenta from Guiyu and compared them with those from a control area where no e-waste processing occurs showed that there was correlation between PCPb and residence in e-Waste recycling area and a negative correlation betweenPCNi and gestational age was found.
