Why is it important?
This study is the first in the literature to evaluate the effects of crack burning smoke on fetal development, making it possible to compare the effects observed in laboratory animals in a controlled environment with those observed in human studies.
Perspectives
Possibility to develop further studies using the methodology employed here for post-behavioral and immunotoxicity studies, for example.
