Health effects for the population living near a cement plant: an epidemiological assessment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Phenol exposure during pregnancy has been associated with preterm birth, but the potential effect of preconception exposure in either parent is unknown. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the preconception period is a critical window of vulnerability for adverse pregnancy outcomes. OBJECTIV...
