In recent years, increasing attention and resources have been
brought to bear on the relationship between the environment and
congenital diseases. These diseases were previously thought to be
mostly due to genetic causes. Even though the importance of genes
as factors in causation is accepted, environmental factors seem to
be implicated just as strongly. This book explores some further
concepts that have arisen from more recent perceptions of
environmental effects and their possible interactions with living
systems. Amongst the topics discussed are: effects of prenatal
exposure to toxic chemicals; intra-uterine exposure to drugs;
effects of endocrine disrupters; environmental risk and sex ratio
in newborns; surveillance of environmental impact; research and
policy.
