Link Between Parental Phenol Exposure and Children's Asthma Development

Caption

By measuring the concentrations of 24 phenols—including nitrophenol, parabens, bisphenol, octylphenol, and nonylphenol—in urine samples collected during the first trimester of pregnancy, and performing logistic regression analysis, researchers identified that high exposure to butylparaben and low exposure to 4-nonylphenol are risk factors for asthma development in children. These findings offer valuable insights for developing recommendations on prenatal phenol exposure.
