The exposome is a novel research paradigm offering promise for understanding the complexity of human exposures, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and pregnancy outcomes. The physiologically active state of pregnancy requires understanding temporal changes in EDCs to better inform the application of the exposome research paradigm and serve as the impetus for study.
