Figure 1: Risks for pregnant researchers depends on hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, where each exists on a scale that contributes to overall risk. Types of hazards in a chemical lab include chemical and radiation hazards, among others. Main routes of exposure are dermal, oral, and inhalation exposure, along with ambient exposure to hazardous environments such as radiation or sound. A pregnant researcher and their developing fetus can be more or less vulnerable to certain hazards and exposures based on the progression of their pregnancy.
