Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of environmental exposures during the NICU hospitalization on preterm infant development. The research team is interested in both chemical and non-chemical exposures. Research studies have shown that babies are exposed to plasticizers (bisphenol A, phthalates) in the NICU. Plasticizers are chemicals that are used to make plastic medical equipment soft and flexible. The research team wants to find out whether NICU-based exposure to chemicals (including common plasticizers) and other non-chemical exposures like stress makes a difference to how they grow and develop.
