Scientific Sessions

Environmental and workplace factors significantly impact women's health, influencing reproductive outcomes and overall well-being. Climate change has been linked to rising pregnancy complications, increased infectious disease risks, and mental health challenges in vulnerable populations. Occupational hazards, including exposure to chemicals, radiation, and heavy lifting, can affect fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and menstrual health, underscoring the need for protective workplace policies. Air pollution has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth weight, highlighting the importance of environmental regulations to safeguard maternal and fetal health.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), found in plastics, pesticides, and personal care products, can interfere with hormonal balance, contributing to fertility issues and gynecologic disorders. Workplace policies that support maternal and reproductive health, such as maternity leave and accommodations for pregnant workers, are essential for ensuring women's long-term well-being. Proactive strategies, including advocacy, regulation, and education on environmental risks, are critical in minimizing health hazards and promoting safer living and working conditions for women across all life stages.
