Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter was associated with a 12% higher risk for developing cerebral palsy.
Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter of ≤ 2.5 µm in diameter is linked to an increased risk for cerebral palsy in offspring, according to researchers from Canada . Researchers examined the associations between prenatal exposure to ambient air pollutants and cerebral palsy in more than one million full-term births in Ontario, Canada , between 2002 and 2017.
Prenatal exposures to fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone were determined based on weekly concentrations based on the reported residential address at delivery.3 in the concentration of the average prenatal fine particulate matter . No significant associations were found for exposure to nitrous oxide and ozone.A higher exposure to fine particulate matter increased the risk for cerebral palsy throughout all gestational weeks; no specific period was observed as more susceptible to risk.
