There is a growing number of studies on the association between ambient air pollution and
adverse pregnancy outcomes, but their results have been inconsistent. Consequently, a …

Low birth weight and preterm birth have a substantial public health impact. Studies
examining their association with outdoor air pollution were identified using searches of …

Ambient air pollution is produced by sources including vehicular traffic, coal-fired power
plants, hydraulic fracturing, agricultural production, and forest fires. It consists of primary …

Background Ambient air pollution has been associated with restricted fetal growth, which is
linked with adverse respiratory health in childhood. We assessed the effect of maternal …

FEF25–75, forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory
volume in 1 second; FMD, flow-mediated dilatation; FVC, forced vital capacity; GIS …

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: Prenatal exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during critical
developmental windows have been implicated in the etiologies of a wide array of adverse …

Background: Inhaling fine particles (particulate matter with diameter≤ 2.5 μm; PM2. 5) can
induce oxidative stress and inflammation, and may contribute to onset of preterm labor and …

Objectives The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to provide
summarized evidence on the association between maternal exposure to particulate air …

Seasonal patterns of birth outcomes, such as low birth weight, preterm birth and stillbirth,
have been found around the world. As a result, there has been an increasing interest in …
