If you participated in the study during your pregnancy, now is the time for you and your child to help us take the next step in our research. You can play a key role in understanding the effects of contaminants on pregnancy and children.
An unprecedented study with major impacts
By understanding how prenatal exposure to environmental chemicals impacts the health of pregnant women and their infants, we can influence the policies and guidelines that help Canadians make decisions about their health. The MIREC Study is one of a few large-scale maternal-infant research cohorts in the world. We recruited 2000 pregnant women from 10 cities across Canada.
The MIREC Biobank
Created at the beginning of the MIREC study in 2008, the MIREC Biobank has grown with each follow-up study. It stores all the data and biological specimens collected since the inception of MIREC.
