Environmental Toxins and Fetal Development - Conclusion

Conclusion

As there are a variety of substances that can prove harmful to a developing fetus, it is crucial that individuals who are expecting take extra precautions to limit exposure to toxicity. Although it is impossible to completely avoid all sources of contamination, by being careful and conscious of one's surroundings, it is possible to significantly decrease harmful exposure. Research is still being conducted on various substances to discover the full extent of teratogens that are found in the environment and around everyday communities.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)

    So this
    Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
    The day will not follow night, and the heart
    Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
    Than a wolf’s,
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
