This project proposal aims to explore endocrine-disrupting activities of air pollution exposure in early life and how these effects can be hazardous for childhood development. Little is known about whether exposure to endocrine disruptors through air pollution in utero can disrupt steroid levels and its further impact on neurodevelopment and weight in childhood.
