Environmental Contaminants and Congenital Heart Defects: A Re-Evaluation of the Evidence

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a common birth defect of largely unknown etiology, with high fetal and neonatal mortality. A review of CHDs and environmental contaminant exposure found that meta-analyses showed only modest associations for smoking ...
