“…Among the various risk factors, there is no doubt that air pollution (Fang et al, 2020) and its interrelations with climate change are among the most important and widely studied problems (Signorelli et al, 2019;Khaniabadi et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2019). In this perspective, it is of primary importance to apply the well known dose-response function of exposure to air pollution to evaluate the impact of different scenarios related to interventions and policies (Capolongo S et al, 2018;Oliveri Conti et al, 2017;Herrero et al, 2020).…”

“…Third-trimester PM 2.5 exposure was associated with cord blood thyroid hormone levels that may contribute to reduced birth weight . In other studies, associations with preterm birth (Fang, 2020), decreased or low birth weight (Fang, 2020;Johnson, 2022;Yitshak-Sade, 2021) or increased blood pressure (Rosa, 2020) have also been observed in relation to PM 2.5 exposure during the mid-to late-pregnancy. Although there are several studies linking PM 2.5 exposure with adverse birth outcomes, the specific mechanisms through which differences in markers of the axis of aging upon PM 2.5 exposure affects health and disease later in life should be further investigated.…”

“…The past decade has witnessed mounting attention on researching the association between maternal exposure to air pollutants and adverse birth outcomes. Many studies have demonstrated positive associations between ambient air pollution exposure and PTB [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], especially for PM 2.5 and PM 10 . Lei Yuan and Ying Tian (2019) reviewed 42 studies on the association between maternal exposure to PM 2.5 and PTB; among 18 studies selected, prenatal PM 2.5 exposure has strong effects on PTB [ 27 ].…”

Recent study results on the association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution with preterm birth have been inconsistent. The sensitive window of exposure and influence level of air pollutants varied greatly. We aimed to explore the association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollutants and the risk of preterm birth, and to estimate the sensitive exposure time window. A total of 572,116 mother–newborn pairs, daily concentrations of air pollutants from nearest monitoring stations were used to estimate exposures for each participant during 2015–2020 in Chongqing, China. We applied a generalized additive model and estimated RRs and 95% CIs for preterm birth in each trimester and the entire pregnancy period. In the single-pollutant model, we observed that each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 had a statistically significant effect on the third trimester and entire pregnancy, with RR = 1.036 (95% CI: 1.021, 1.051) and RR = 1.101 (95% CI: 1.075, 1.128), respectively. Similarly, for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10, there were 2.7% (RR = 1.027, 95% CI: 1.016, 1.038) increase for PTB on the third trimester, and 3.8% (RR = 1.038, 95% CI: 1.020, 1.057) increase during the whole pregnancy. We found that for each 10 mg/m3 CO increases, the relative risk of PTB increased on the first trimester (RR = 1.081, 95% CI: 1.007, 1.162), second trimester (RR = 1.116, 95% CI: 1.035, 1.204), third trimester (RR = 1.167, 95% CI: 1.090, 1.250) and whole pregnancy (RR = 1.098, 95% CI: 1.011, 1.192). No statistically significant RR was found for SO2 and NO2 on each trimester of pregnancy. Our study indicates that maternal exposure to high levels of PM2.5 and PM10 during pregnancy may increase the risk for preterm birth, especially for women at the late stage of pregnancy. Statistically increased risks of preterm birth were associated with CO exposure during each trimester and entire pregnancy. Reducing exposure to ambient air pollutants for pregnant women is clearly necessary to improve the health of infants.
