Abstract:Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during pregnancy
has been inversely associated with neonatal neurological development.
However, the associations of exposure to specific PM2.5 constituents with neonatal neurological development remain unclear.
We investigated these associations and examined the mediating role
of meconium metabolites in a Chinese birth cohort consisting of 294
mother–infant pairs. Our results revealed that exposure to
PM2.5 and its specific constituents (i.e., organic matter,
