An increasing number of studies have been conducted to determine a possible linkage
between maternal exposure to ambient fine particulate matter and effects on the developing …

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 …

Exposure to ambient air pollutants during pregnancy may be associated with numerous side
health effects and adverse birth outcomes. Growing numbers of studies have explored a …

A growing body of evidence has investigated the association between maternal exposure to
