Summary:[...]prior studies have demonstrated that behavioral interventions could reduce exposure to mixtures of phthalates, phenols, and pesticides. [...]the consumption of organic food can reduce exposure to organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides (Curl et al. 2019; Lu et al. 2006). [...]the patterns of personal care product use during pregnancy may differ among racial/ethnic groups, which can contribute to different mixture profiles (James-Todd et al. 2012). Because of these different chemical mixture profiles, the impact of an intervention on exposure-related health end points might vary across diverse populations, especially when chemicals have synergistic or antagonistic effects.
