One that comes to mind is lead exposure, but heavy metals, petroleum products, or any products that have the warning “This chemical is known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm”. Is physical contact enough to cause these issues or must it be ingested/inhaled?

Because these chemicals can penetrate your protective outer layers and get inside your body. And some of them can keep going further and further, deeper into your body, to the parts where the baby making stuff if stored.
So the baby stuff gets poisoned by these chemicals, thus when this stuff is used to create a baby, instead of creating a healthy baby something else might happen.
Imagine having a sack of rice. Someone drunk takes a piss on the sack. The piss seeps through and soaks the rice inside. Now if the cooks were to take this rice and make a dish, it wouldn’t exactly be the same dish as what you would get from a cleaner restaurant.
As to how it enters the body – that depends on chemical. Some are inhaled, some are skin contact, etc.
