There are also birth defects caused by the environmental factors during the fetal stage. Chemicals and toxins (such as those found in industrial solvents (such as benzene), trichloroethylene used in dry cleaning, and perchloroethylene that is used in metal degreasing and painting) can cause birth defects. This can also include exposure to heavy metals, such as mercury, arsenic, or lead used in manufacturing and power plants.

Medical professionals may cause birth defects due to negligence. For instance they might fail to identify or treat a mother's condition during pregnancy, or even after the child is delivered.
