NIVA webinar: Reproductive and Developmental Health in an Occupational Context

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventParticipation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

Most men and women have worked for many years before pursuing pregnancy, and the majority of women continue to work throughout pregnancy. Still, we have much to learn about the work environment relative to reproductive function, and occupational factors do not receive much attention compared to e.g. chemicals in consumer products and in the outer environment.

We will touch upon the topic in three presentations, with time for discussion:

Occupation and male infertility – what do we know and what do we believe?
Jens Peter Bonde, Professor emeritus
Exposure to reproductive and developmental toxicants at work places: is it still a problem?
Karin Sørig Hougaard, Senior researcher and affiliate professor
Risk assessment of occupational hazards for pregnant women – presentation of a case from an occupational clinic.
Luise Mølenberg Begtrup, Senior Specialist, Phd
