Abstract
This presentation aims to give a concise overview and foundation on the topic of teratogens. Teratogens are toxins that cause birth defects. In this presentation I cover what teratogens are, the categories they are divided into, along with the most common in each category. I included the most common to bring attention to the teratogens that pregnant people are the most susceptible to. This is important because it helps bring awareness, so that it becomes more common knowledge, and pregnant people can be more aware of the risks associated. I also outlined some of the most common effects of teratogens and the range of effects that can be present, from death to limb deformities.
