Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure during pregnancy and child anthropometry from birth to 10 years of age: Sex-specific evidence from a cohort study in rural Bangladesh
“…13 Prenatal exposure to certain PAHs has been linked with low birth weight, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments in children. 14–16 Emerging evidence suggests that PAH exposure may be associated with cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. 17 While PAHs have been extensively studied for their widespread presence in the environment and potential health impacts, OPAHs have received comparatively little attention.…”
While polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well-known for their potential carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, the health implications of exposure to oxygenated PAHs, with increased persistence and bioaccumulation, are less understood.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
