Phthalates, Bisphenols, and Childhood Allergic Phenotypes: Findings from Two Birth Cohort Studies

Phthalates and bisphenols may contribute to childhood allergic outcomes, but whether these are differentially associated with atopic or non-atopic phenotypes is uncertain. We investigated whether early-life exposure to these chemicals differentially impacts atopic and non-atopic allergic outcomes. We used two birth cohorts to investigate late pregnancy and early childhood exposure windows. The Barwon Infant Study (n = 797) in Australia measured …
