This book offers valuable insights into the latest concepts and
findings from epidemiologic, clinical and basic studies in the
burgeoning area of early-life environmental exposure and diseases.
The book is divided into five parts, starting with an overview of
environmental exposure measurement and evaluation, followed by a
review of the effects of exposure to various substances like
tobacco smoke, pesticides and metals as well as stress on
offspring's health. It then discusses the developmental origins of
a range of childhood diseases that affect growth, neural
development and the immune system, and highlights the importance of
longitudinal studies that measure exposure at potentially sensitive
time points during childhood. It also provides up-to-date evidence
of the intergenerational/transgenerational effects of early-life
environmental exposure, especially via genetic and epigenetic
pathways. Allowing readers to gain a thorough understanding of the
predominating aspects of early-life environmental exposure and
diseases, the book also provides a basis for developing
environmental and health policies that could have wide and
long-term impacts on human health.
