A member asked:
I am 22wks pregnant and inhaled some chemicals including ddt that was sprayed at my work place two days ago. will it affect my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A single, brief: Exposure is unlikely to harm your fetus at 22 weeks. Significant exposure would have made you feel ill. However, you may want to check osha regulations & very politely & tactfully, share them with your employer or hr department to prevent recurrent exposure.
