A research project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to study the effects of volatile organic compounds on preterm birth in Detroit, involving biomarker measurements and source identification.
Description
The project focuses on the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on preterm birth in Detroit. The study involves measuring VOC metabolites in maternal urine and benzene adducts in the placenta. The project aims to identify sources of VOCs and potential mechanisms affecting pregnancy outcomes. The project is funded by NIEHS and is part of a broader effort to understand environmental health risks.
