House dust can contain chemical and biological components, including phthalates, flame retardants, allergens, endotoxins and microorganisms.
AI Summary
House dust can contain phthalates, flame retardants, allergens, endotoxins, and microorganisms. Pregnant women spend much time indoors, so the indoor environment during pregnancy may influence child development. Prior studies have linked maternal cleaning behaviors to infant development up to 12 months. However, evidence for effects beyond the first year of life has been limited.
