Associations between maternal exposure to particulate matter (≤10 microns) and congenital anomalies in Liaoning Province, China: A case-control study (2010–2015)
Abstract:Background: A growing number of reports suggest that maternal exposure to ambient air pollution is a potential risk factor for congenital anomalies (CAs). However, most studies have focused on specific CAs, especially congenital heart defects, while relatively few have investigated the effects of exposure to particulate matter of ≤10 microns (PM10) on CAs overall, but with inconsistent results. This study aims to investigate the associations between maternal exposure to PM10 and the risks of CAs in offspring i… Show more
