Prenatal greenness, air pollution, and birthweight: Assessing sensitive windows of exposure and sub-populations in a multi-exposure setting
Birthweight is positively associated with residential greenness in all trimesters after co-adjusting for air pollutants. Addresses surrounded by the least greenness had the strongest inverse PM<sub>2.5</sub>-birthweight association. Nature-based solutions may attenuate air pollution's negative impacts.
