Aug. 6, 2024
A recent study conducted by Drs. Melissa Furlong and Paloma Beamer from the Zuckerman College of Public Health investigated the association between pesticide exposure during pregnancy and the risk of stillbirth. The study, which utilized data from the Arizona Pesticide Use Registry alongside birth certificate data in the state, aimed to assess the impact of various pesticide exposures on stillbirth risk. Stillborn babies have died in the womb before they are born.
