Reduction of preterm births (< 37 completed weeks of gestation) would substantially reduce
neonatal and infant mortality, and deleterious health effects in survivors. Maternal fine …

Background Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) exposure has been reported to adversely affect
birth outcomes, but the evidence is limited, particularly in low-and middle-income countries …

Background Although several previous studies have assessed the association of fine
particulate matter (PM 2.5) exposure during pregnancy with preterm birth, the results have …

We performed this meta-analysis to estimate the associations of maternal exposure to PM
2.5 and its chemical constituents with birth weight and to explore the sources of …

Exposure to ambient air pollutants during pregnancy may be associated with numerous side

Background: A growing body of evidence has associated maternal exposure to air pollution
with adverse effects on fetal growth; however, the existing literature is inconsistent …

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) rates (11.4% in 2013) in the United States remain high and
