Prenatal exposure to the pesticides chlorpyrifos and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is associated with circulating levels of reproductive hormones in healthy infant girls
In this low-exposed cohort, prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos and 2,4-D may affect the reproductive hormones in girls, but not boys, during minipuberty, which may have long-term implications. This is of public health concern given the fact that > 90 % of participants were exposed.
