Risk and burden of low birthweight related to maternal PM2.5 exposure in Iran: A national causal inference study
Our findings provided nationwide evidence of causality for elevated LBW risk and birthweight loss associated with maternal PM<sub>2.5</sub> exposure in Iran. Improving air quality through multisectoral efforts may avoid dramatic LBW burden to promote neonatal health later in life.
