Air Pollution Exposure and Birth Weight in the ECHO Cohort

In this cohort study, higher PM2.5 exposure was associated with lower BWGA z score, with critical windows identified during early pregnancy to midpregnancy; however, findings varied by sex and region. Understanding windows of susceptibility to environmental exposures can help guide research on underlying biological processes and can inform strategies for limiting exposure during certain periods of pregnancy.

Abstract

In this cohort study, higher PM2.5 exposure was associated with lower BWGA z score, with critical windows identified during early pregnancy to midpregnancy; however, findings varied by sex and region. Understanding windows of susceptibility to environmental exposures can help guide research on underlying biological processes and can inform strategies for limiting exposure during certain periods of pregnancy.
