[A seven-day low-plastic intervention](https://begonegoods.com/research/perth-low-plastic-randomized-trial/): Food with minimal plastic contact reduced several urinary plastic-associated chemical markers within seven days. - [Which exposure-reduction interventions work?](https://begonegoods.com/research/interventions-scoping-review-2024/): Most interventions lowered at least one biomarker, and policy-level changes generally produced the largest reductions. - [Phthalates and blood pressure in pregnancy](https://begonegoods.com/research/phthalates-gestational-blood-pressure/): The study examined whether pregnancy exposure markers for phthalates and newer substitutes tracked with blood-pressure patterns and hypertensive disorders. - [Birth outcomes and estimated US burden](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-birth-outcomes-costs/): Higher prenatal phthalate biomarkers were associated with shorter gestation and preterm birth, then modeled as a substantial population burden. - [Pregnancy exposure and thyroid hormones](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-thyroid-hormones/): Researchers reported associations between selected urinary phthalate metabolites and thyroid-hormone measures during pregnancy. - [Exposure, life stress, and child behavior](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-stress-child-behavior/): The analysis considered chemical exposure alongside life stress rather than treating environmental risks in isolation. - [Sixteen US cohorts on preterm birth](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-preterm-pooled-cohorts/): Higher biomarkers for several common phthalates were associated with increased odds of preterm birth across a large pooled sample. - [A three-day personal-care swap](https://begonegoods.com/research/hermosa-personal-care-intervention/): Three days using personal-care products labeled free of selected chemicals reduced several urinary biomarkers, including monoethyl phthalate. - [Preconception exposure and fecundability](https://begonegoods.com/research/preconception-exposure-reproductive-health/): Several preconception phthalate metabolites were associated with longer time to pregnancy and with hormonal, inflammatory, or oxidative-stress markers. - [Prenatal biomarkers and postpartum depression](https://begonegoods.com/research/nonpersistent-chemicals-postpartum-depression/): Some grouped phthalate biomarkers were associated with higher odds of postpartum-depression symptoms, while most measured chemicals were not. - [Brain volume and IQ in youth](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-plasticizers-brain-volume-iq/): Selected prenatal phthalate biomarkers were associated with smaller gray or white matter volumes and with lower IQ later in childhood. - [Motor skills at age eleven](https://begonegoods.com/research/phthalates-motor-skills-age-11/): Prenatal and childhood biomarkers for selected phthalates were associated with lower motor scores, with patterns differing by sex and exposure window. - [Emotional and behavioral development at age two](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-emotional-behavioral-development/): Higher prenatal DEHP biomarkers were associated with selected emotional and behavioral measures among two-year-old boys in this cohort. - [Endocrine development in a mouse model](https://begonegoods.com/research/prenatal-phthalates-endocrine-puberty-mice/): A prenatal phthalate mixture altered sex-hormone patterns around birth in a mouse study, with different findings in female and male offspring. - [The original preterm-birth study](https://begonegoods.com/research/environmental-phthalates-preterm-birth-2014/): Higher pregnancy urinary biomarkers for several phthalates were associated with preterm birth, particularly spontaneous preterm birth. - [A policy review on child brain development](https://begonegoods.com/research/ortho-phthalates-neurotoxicity-policy/): Project TENDR authors concluded that the evidence supported class-based action to reduce ortho-phthalate exposure during brain development. - [DINP and placental development in mice](https://begonegoods.com/research/dinp-placental-development-mice/): Gestational DINP exposure disrupted uterine and placental development in a mouse model. - [How CDC measured urinary metabolites](https://begonegoods.com/research/cdc-urinary-phthalate-lab-method/): The archived manual documents the laboratory method used to quantify short-lived phthalate metabolites in urine for NHANES. ## Editorial notes -
