◆ Overview

Occupational or environmental exposures to heavy metals, organic solvents, endocrine disrupting chemicals, pesticides, and radiation could injure our reproduction and offspring and became important public health issues. We have been working in the field of reproductive and developmental epidemiology and conducted several occupational or environmental cohort studies including lead-acid battery, semiconductor industry, electronics worker cohorts, a prospective pregnancy cohort in Taipei, and Taiwan birth panel study. We have investigated the following exposures on fertility, fetuses, infants and children.
