Environmental toxicants and fetal development
(Provide a link to the article here.)

== I chose this article because it is based on a topic that I would be interested in for my project. This topic is important because of the potential developmental risks associated with high levels of common chemicals. Developmental impacts should be considered in the regulation and use of these substances. My initial impression is that, while this is a broad topic, there are many specific pollutants that have been studied in recent years, making it a good fit for a wikipedia topic. I am really interested in the bigger-picture implications of this article. ==

(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

== I like the structure of this article. It starts very broad and then goes into detail about the impacts specific toxicants have on development. However, some of the language could be more concise. The article also lacks photographs. The sources are recent, comprehensive, and give a good starting point for research. The talk page demonstrates constructive feedback to apply throughout the article. One of the pieces of feedback that has not been completed yet was to add a section about Teflon. I would be interested in researching this chemical and potentially adding it to this page. ==
