Background: Although previous studies suggest that exposure to traffic-related pollution
during childhood increases the risk of childhood overweight or obesity (COWO), the role of …

Background Investigations on the potential effects of high air pollution exposure before
pregnancy on adverse pregnancy outcomes are limited, and it is unknown whether air …

Background: Epidemiological studies associate inhalation of fine-sized particulate matter
(PM 2.5) during pregnancy with preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) but disagree …

Particulate matter (PM) exposure during in utero life may entail adverse health outcomes in
later-life. Air pollution's adverse effects are known to alter gene expression profiles, which …

Older people spend most of their time indoors. Limited evidence demonstrates that exposure
to indoor air pollutants might be related to chronic complications. This study aimed to …

Background Prior epidemiological and animal work has linked in utero exposure to ambient
air pollutants (AAP) with accelerated postnatal weight gain, which is predictive of increased …

Background The relationship between maternal exposure to air pollution and birth outcomes
is not well characterised where ambient air pollution is relatively low. Objectives We aimed …

The effect of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) on human early maternal–fetal interface is
unknown. We explored the association between maternal exposure to ambient PM 2.5 and …

Various environmental contaminants are known to impair the growth trajectories of major
organs, indirectly (gestational exposure) or directly (postnatal exposure). Evidence …

The literature shows associations between maternal exposures to PM2. 5 and adverse
pregnancy outcomes. There are few data from Latin America. We have examined PM2. 5 …
