Background: Prenatal exposure to air pollution has been associated with childhood
respiratory disease and other adverse outcomes. Epigenetics is a suggested link between …

Background: Prenatal exposure to air pollution is considered to be associated with adverse
effects on child health. This may partly be mediated by mechanisms related to DNA …

Background Exposure to air pollution during the first 1000 days of life (from conception to the
2 nd year of life) might be of particular relevance for long-term child health. Changes in …

Background Air pollution exposure represents a major health threat to the developing foetus.
DNA methylation is one of the most well-known molecular determinants of the epigenetic …

Background There is evidence that altered DNA methylation is an important epigenetic
mechanism in prenatal programming and that developmental periods are sensitive to …

Background: Prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking (prenatal smoke exposure)
had been associated with altered DNA methylation (DNAm) at birth. Objective: We examined …

Background Prenatal air pollution exposure has been linked to many adverse health
conditions in the offspring. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying these …

Maternal exposure to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter< 10 μm (PM 10) during
pregnancy results in adverse birth outcomes. Changes in placental DNA methylation might …

Background Exposure to particulate air pollution has been linked with risk of carcinogenesis.
Damage to repair pathways might have long-term adverse health effects. We aimed to …

Background Epidemiological studies have found that increased risk of preterm birth (PTB) is
associated with higher prenatal exposure to PM 10 and PM 2.5, but few studies have been …
