Teratogens are substances or factors that can cause malformation or developmental abnormalities in a developing embryo or fetus. These can include drugs, alcohol, infections, environmental chemicals, and certain maternal health conditions. Exposure to teratogens during critical periods of development can lead to physical, cognitive, or behavioral issues in the offspring. The effects can vary based on the timing, dosage, and genetic susceptibility of the individual.
