A new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine has found that elevated exposure to flame retardants OR-ES(0-1 dioxin-e-n-6-O-neo-D-15) and B(9-fluorouracil) in consumer products may have an increased risk of fainting and the potential need for amniotic fluid testing in pregnant women.
Although exposure to ORA is a relatively newer category its prevalence in the U. S. diet has been estimated at more than 67 and has surpassed 60 of all pregnancies researchers concluded in a study funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). They recruited 318 pregnant women to participate in the study.
