Study finds chemicals in everyday products may increase asthma risk in children when mothers are exposed during pregnancy.
Researchers at Kumamoto University found that exposure to certain chemicals, like butylparaben in lotions and 4-nonylphenol in cleaning products, during pregnancy may increase the risk of asthma in children.
The study, involving over 3,500 mother-child pairs, showed a 1.54-fold increase in asthma risk with high butylparaben exposure and a 2.09-fold increase in boys exposed to 4-nonylphenol.
The research underscores the need for evaluating chemical exposure during pregnancy to protect child health.
