What this paper brings together

Reviews experimental and epidemiological work published during 2015–2025 on developmental, reproductive, neurological and cancer-related outcomes.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

The review identifies experimental and higher-exposure findings consistent with oxidative stress and other plausible pathways, while emphasising limited longitudinal evidence for children and foetuses.

Reading the connections carefully

The review does not establish a causal relationship. Findings are inconsistent and experimental mechanisms have not been consistently observed in human populations; study designs and exposure measures vary. Included for its developmental concerns and research questions.
