Background Differential risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes may be influenced by prenatal chemical exposures, but current exposure methods may not fully capture data to identify harms and differences. Methods We collected maternal and cord sera from pregnant people in Fresno and San Francisco, and screened for over 2420 chemicals using LC-QTOF/MS. We matched San Francisco participants to Fresno participants ( N  = 150) and compared detection frequencies. Twenty-six Fresno participants wore silicone wristbands evaluated for over 1500 chemicals using quantitative chemical analysis. We assessed whether living in tracts with higher levels of pollution according to CalEnviroScreen correlated with higher numbers of chemicals detected in sera. Results We detected 2167 suspect chemical features across maternal and cord sera. The number of suspect chemical features was not different by city, but a higher number of suspect chemicals in cosmetics or fragrances was detected in the Fresno versus San Francisco participants’ sera. We also found high levels of chemicals used in fragrances measured in the silicone wristbands. Fresno participants living in tracts with higher pesticide scores had higher numbers of suspect pesticides in their sera. Conclusions Multiple exposure-assessment approaches can identify exposure to many chemicals during pregnancy that have not been well-studied for health effects.
