 The purpose of this study is to investigate exposures to heavy metal exposures and other environmental chemicals among newcomer women of reproductive age (19-45 years) from India, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan living in the Greater Vancouver area.  This study will help us determine if current levels of toxicants may be a public health concern.  The results of this study will help us to learn how to reduce future exposures.
