one component should be chosen from each group and those three should be related. For

from exposure pathway – “asthma” from diseases.; from diseases. Find strong five to seven scientific evidence

from the peer reviewed journal articles that are studied on the subject and support your main

theme.

The paper should have a minimum of 2200 words. Word count

only from introduction to conclusion excluding a list of references and title page for word limit.

References must be cited in EHP format.

 Endocrine Disrupter (Bisphenol A, Bisphenol S, PFOA)

2. Exposure Pathway/ Window of exposure at lifetime:

 In utero exposure (exposure during pregnancy)

 Childhood exposure (infant, toddler, teenagers, adolescent)

 Dietary Exposure (ingestion of foods, drinks)
