Background: Ambient air pollution has been associated with certain congenital anomalies,
but few studies rely on assessment of fine-scale variation in air quality and associations with …

Background: A recent meta-analysis suggested evidence for an effect of exposure to
ambient air pollutants on risk of certain congenital heart defects. However, few studies have …

Background There are a growing number of reports on the association between air pollution
and the risk of congenital anomalies. However, the results are inconsistent and most studies …

Background Maternal exposure to air pollution and traffic noise has been suggested to
impair fetal growth, but studies have reported inconsistent findings. Objective To investigate …

Objectives There is growing evidence for an adverse effect of maternal exposure to air
pollution on pregnancy outcomes. As European data on this topic are limited, the aim of this …
