This study investigated direct and indirect associations between in utero exposure to environmental contaminants with fetal growth and pregnancy duration in an Inuit population in Nunavik. The study found that prenatal exposure to environmental contaminants was associated with reduced gestation duration; however, intake of docosahexaenoic acid from fish, seafood and marine mammals appeared to prolong gestation.
