Ambient air pollution and risk of congenital anomalies in England, 1991-1999.
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether there is an association between risk of congenital anomaly and annual ward level exposure to air pollution in England during the 1990s. METHODS A geographical study was conducted across four regions of England using population-based congenital anomaly registers, 1991-1999. Exposure was measured as 1996 annual mean background sulphur dioxide (SO(2)), nitrogen ...
متن کاملAmbient Air Pollution and Risk of Congenital Anomalies: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed epidemiologic studies on ambient air pollution and congenital anomalies and conducted meta-analyses for a number of air pollutant-anomaly combinations. DATA SOURCES AND EXTRACTION From bibliographic searches we extracted 10 original epidemiologic studies that examined the association between congenital anomaly risk and concentrations of air pollutants. Met...
متن کاملTraffic-Related Air Pollution and Congenital Anomalies in Barcelona
BACKGROUND A recent meta-analysis suggested evidence for an effect of exposure to ambient air pollutants on risk of certain congenital heart defects. However, few studies have investigated the effects of traffic-related air pollutants with sufficient spatial accuracy. OBJECTIVES We estimated associations between congenital anomalies and exposure to traffic-related air pollution in Barcelona, ...
متن کاملEffects of Air Pollution on the Risk of Congenital Anomalies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Congenital anomalies are the main causes of preterm and neonatal mortality and morbidity. We investigated the association between congenital anomalies and mothers' exposure to air pollution during pregnancy by combining risk estimates for a variety of air pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM10, PM2.5, CO and O3) and anomaly defect outcomes. Seventeen articles were included in the systematic review and thir...
متن کاملThe association of ambient air pollution and traffic exposures with selected congenital anomalies in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
Congenital anomalies are a leading cause of infant mortality and are important contributors to subsequent morbidity. Studies suggest associations between environmental contaminants and some anomalies, although evidence is limited. We aimed to investigate whether ambient air pollutant and traffic exposures in early gestation contribute to the risk of selected congenital anomalies in the San Joaq...
