Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.
