The overall objectives of the studies conducted in the framework of the GENEIDA cohort are:
- To quantify exposure to environmental pollutants, especially pesticides and flame retardants, during pregnancy and infancy.
- To assess the effect of prenatal and postnatal exposures to environmental pollutants, maternal stress and diet on foetal and infant growth and development, neurodevelopment and general health status of children.
- To study the relationship between genetic and epigenetic factors and mechanisms, exposures to environmental pollutants and adverse effects on child health.
