Prenatal exposure to PM2.5 components and fetal growth: identifying critical gestational weeks and key toxic components in a Chinese birth cohort.

Association of prenatal exposure to PM2.5 and its chemical constituents with early childhood obesity: A population-based study.

Regulating key PM2.5 chemical constituents is a vital public health strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of prenatal air pollution on children's metabolic health, and these findings underscore that regulating key PM2.5 chemical constituents is a vital public health strategy.

Prenatal fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) exposure differentially impairs fetal skeletal and soft-tissue growth: a longitudinal study in rural Butajira, Ethiopia.

Prenatal bisphenols and ambient air pollutants are differentially associated with early childhood length and weight from birth to 36 months: a multi-domain mixture analysis in a Korean birth cohort.

It is suggested that prenatal exposure to bisphenol analogues and ambient air pollutants may be associated with early childhood growth and warrants further investigation, and the use of mixture-based approaches in environmental health research should not be interpreted as evidence of causal effects.

Association between ambient PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy and risk of preterm birth: a retrospective birth cohort study in Chengdu, Southwest China

Background Prenatal PM2.5 exposure has been associated with preterm birth (PTB), but evidence on exposure windows and population heterogeneity remain inconsistent. Methods This retrospective cohort included 35,136 singleton births at a Chengdu hospital from 2015 to 2024. Satellite- and monitor-based PM2.5 exposures wer...

Prenatal PM2.5 Exposure During the COVID-19 Period and Its Association with Mode of Delivery, Birth Weight, and APGAR Scores

Higher prenatal PM2.5 exposure was linked to greater caesarean section rates, lower mean birth weight, and reduced APGAR scores, which may indicate a notable adverse effect of prenatal PM2.5 exposure on neonatal outcomes during the pandemic.

Associations between Prenatal Heavy Metal Mixture Exposure and Child Growth Outcomes from Birth to 24 Months: Results from the Korean Children’s Environmental Health Study (Ko-CHENS)

Prenatal exposure to a mixture of heavy metals was associated with lower birth weight and smaller head circumference during infancy, underscoring the value of considering co-occurring metal exposures and multiple growth indicators across early-life time points when evaluating potential health implications of prenatal e...
