The articles in this special issue of the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing (JOGNN) focus on the effects of the environment on women and infants who are among the populations most vulnerable to environmental exposures. Understanding and addressing these issues are crucial to promote health equity and improve public health outcomes. The authors are nurse leaders in environmental health research, education, advocacy, and practice, and they address important environmental concerns for nurses who care for childbearing women. These concerns include lead exposure, adverse reproductive outcomes related to occupational exposure to hazardous drugs during pregnancy, clinical considerations related to climate change, association between exposure to wildfire smoke and neonatal outcomes, and others.
