Chemicals in
the kitchen may put human reproduction at risk.
Exposure to
common chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may hamper
a couple's efforts to conceive a child, a new study shows.
"This
suggests that some environmental chemicals might be important for
human reproduction, specifically the time it takes couples to get
pregnant," said lead researcher Germaine Buck Louis, director of
the division of epidemiology, statistics and prevention research at
the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development in Rockville, Md.
