Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 108, Number 11, November 2000
Environmental Health Perspectives November 2000 On The Cover: Analysis of cotinine from umbilical cord blood served as an accurate biomarker for the extent of fetal exposure to nicotine from active smoking or passive exposure by the mother (Pichini, p. 1079). Such analysis could assist in evaluating associations between prenatal pollutant exposure and later development of atopy and asthma in children.
