POPs and Hospitals
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. Adverse reproductive, developmental, behavioral, neurological, endocrine, and immunological health effects have all been linked to POPs.
Research shows that expectant mothers who’ve had prolonged contact with POPs faced problems such as damaged immune and reproductive systems, which can make these women more susceptible to other illnesses and diseases.
Once the mother is exposed, the harmful effects can be transferred to the baby as well. Some babies may be born with birth defects, and are at risk of consuming contaminated breast milk from affected mothers.

Danger lurks where you least expect it
Hospitals, protect yourself!
During pregnancy, women become particularly sensitive and vulnerable to the things that surround them. The food they eat, the air they breathe and the actions they partake in can have long-lasting effects on their unborn children.
POPs have been proven to weaken the immune system, resulting in difficult pregnancies for both mothers and children. If you fall within this group, you owe it to yourself and to your unborn child to pay special attention to the dangerous contaminants that exist around us.
