Exposure to environmental chemicals and other environmental stressors have health impacts on the fetus that may not be apparent until later in life. The concept of developmental origins of disease should be expanded to include these early life exposures in addition to the effects of nutrition and maternal factors. This paper will describe the toxicological, biological and epidemiological issues that are pertinent to conducting research on environmental exposures early in life and their health consequences over the life span.
