How Environmental Exposures Affect Fertility | NYU Langone Health

Linda Kahn, PhD, assistant professor of Pediatrics and Population Health at NYU Langone Health, studies how environmental chemicals—including microplastics, phthalates, and endocrine disruptors—affect reproductive health across the life course. ✨ Key Takeaways: • Plastics can disrupt reproductive health from fetal development through adulthood. • Puberty and pregnancy are especially vulnerable stages for endocrine disruption. • Infertility may have roots in early-life exposures—not just lifestyle in adulthood. • Everyday products like food packaging, cosmetics, and exercise clothing may increase risk. • Patients can reduce exposure by choosing natural fibers, safer personal care products, and reading labels. 📌 Chapters: [00:00] Introduction: Linda Kahn, PhD – NYU Langone Health [00:18] Research focus: Plastics and reproductive health [01:19] Effects of plastics across the life course [01:43] Translational research at NYU Langone Health Plastics are embedded in daily life, from packaging to clothing. Understanding their impact on fertility and reproductive health is critical for prevention, patient empowerment, and healthier future generations. 🔎 Learn more about the Center for the Investigation of Environmental Hazards: https://med.nyu.edu/centers-programs/...
