A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase epigenetic disease risk for 20 subsequent generations.
