Toxins can interfere with fetal development in several ways:
- Structural abnormalities: Physical malformations can occur, affecting organs and limbs. - Neurological issues: Toxins can lead to brain development issues, resulting in cognitive and behavioral problems. - Growth restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) can occur, leading to low birth weight. - Preterm birth: Exposure to certain toxins can trigger premature labor.
