Biologic Markers in Reproductive Toxicology

Does exposure to environmental toxicants inhibit our ability to have healthy children who develop normally? Biologic markersindicators that can tell us when environmental factors have caused a change at the cellular or biochemical level that might affect reproductive abilityare a promising tool for research aimed at answering that important question. Biologic Markers in Reproductive Toxicology examines the potential of these markers in environmental health studies; clarifies definitions, underlying concepts, and possible applications; and shows the benefits to be gained from their use in reproductive and neurodevelopmental research.
