A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study published in JAMA Pediatrics provides further evidence for a link between multiple phthalate exposure and an increased risk of preterm birth. This is a multi-cohort study led by National Institute of Environmental Health (NIEHS) Epidemiology Branch Investigator and former PROTECT Project 1 trainee Dr. Kelly Ferguson. Many of the phthalates found to be risk factors for preterm birth are common in consumer products.
