Toxic chemicals such as lead can increase the risk of birth defects. Lead is a hazardous material used in the production of hundreds of products including batteries, metals, paint, ceramic glazes, cable covering, ammunition, and more. The Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of lead in paint, gasoline, and other products in the 1970s. However, the substance is still present in older products and in the environment including drinking water from contaminated leaded pipes, scented candle wicks, plastic handles on certain tools, and leaded crystals and ceramics.

High or even low levels of lead exposure can cause a variety of illnesses and have deleterious reproductive effects in men and women including lower sperm count and spontaneous abortion. Furthermore, maternal exposure to lead, which is easily transferred from mother to child through the placenta as early as the first trimester, poses significant risks of lead birth defects. While there is no specific pattern of birth defects linked to lead exposure during pregnancy, some common lead birth defects may include:

• Neurological damage
• Developmental delays
• Low birth weight
• Skin markings including skin tags
• Slowed postnatal neurobehavioral development
• Premature delivery/shortened gestation
• Undescended male testicles
• Miscarriage/spontaneous abortion

Pregnant women and young children should avoid coming into contact or ingesting any lead containing materials to reduce the risks of lead birth defects.
