Abstract

The Industrial Revolution has caused increasing amounts of pollution in the environment that has exposed the global population to various agents called environmental contaminants or pollutants, which are toxic metals, as well as smoking or radiation, and may cause epigenetic modifications related to health outcomes in the later stages of life, including cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and neurological conditions, that may be influenced by epigenetic mechanisms triggered in intrauterine and neonatal life.
