Background Particulate matter exposure during in utero life may entail adverse health
outcomes later in life. The microvasculature undergoes extensive, organ-specific prenatal …

Background Obesity is one of the leading threats to global public health. It is consequent to
abnormal energy metabolism. Currently, it has been well established that maternal exposure …

Objectives To investigate the association between maternal occupational exposures to
nanoscale particles (NPs) during pregnancy and small for gestational age (SGA). Methods …

In human obstetrics, placental vascularisation impairment is frequent as well as linked to
severe pathological events (preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction), and there is a …

Previous studies have linked prenatal polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) exposure to
adverse birth outcomes. Reductions in placental size might mediate those adverse effects …

Exposure to air pollution during prenatal or neonatal periods is associated with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) according to epidemiology studies. Furthermore, prenatal …

Introduction: With the broad use of nanotechnology, the number and variety of nanoparticles
that humans can be exposed to has further increased. Consequently, there is growing …

Atmospheric pollution has major health effects on directly exposed subjects but
intergenerational consequences are poorly characterized. We previously reported that …

The aim of the present work was to address experimentally the possible impact of exposure
to air pollution during gestation on the differentiation and function of the gonads of the …

The colloidal and chemical stability of CeO2 nanoparticles used in a diesel additive (viz.
Envirox™) was studied at different stages of their lifecycle (formulation, use, end of life). After …
