The influence of pre- and postnatal exposure to air pollution and green . . . A more plausible alternative could be that air pollution during pregnancy alters maternal gut microbiota, which at the moment of birth is transferred to the newborn (Browne et al , 2022) In this sense, we observed a certain consistency for Eggerthella between chronic exposure during pregnancy and the postnatal period
Effects of Pollution on Pregnancy and Infants - PMC - PubMed Central (PMC) Air pollution may indirectly harm lung development by causing low birth weight, early birth, or improper immune system development The health implications of this exposure are especially important as air pollution during the prenatal period may interfere with organ development and organogenesis
Maternal mechanisms in air pollution exposure-related adverse pregnancy . . . Adverse maternal health effects included hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and clinically recognized early pregnancy loss, while adverse infant health effects ranged from low birth weight, preterm birth, changes in fetal heart rate, crown rump length and fetal hyperinsulinism
Emory study finds molecular link between air pollution and pregnancy . . . A new study by Emory University researchers, published Thursday in Environmental Science Technology, found that exposure to the tiny particles in air pollution during pregnancy can disrupt maternal metabolisms, altering key biological pathways These changes were associated with increased risk of various negative birth outcomes, including premature birth
Air pollution exposure and the maternal gut microbiome in early . . . We used a novel Linear Decomposition Model to examine the associations between maternal gut bacteria (relative abundance, presence absence) and exposures, as well as preterm birth (PTB) and early-term birth (ETB) In addition, we tested the potential mediation effects of gut bacteria on the associations between air pollution and early birth
Molecular link between air pollution and pregnancy risks The researchers identified two substances -- cortexolone and lysoPE(20:3) -- as factors in the relationship between short-term air pollution exposure and elevated risk of early births, offering a
AIR POLLUTION AND PREGNANCY - PMC Pregnant women and neonates with exposure to high levels of air pollutants are at increased risk of adverse health outcomes such as maternal hypertensive disorders, postpartum depression, placental abruption, low birth weight, preterm birth, infant mortality, and adverse lung and respiratory effects
The influence of pre- and postnatal exposure to air pollution and green . . . Methods: MAMI ("MAternal MIcrobes") birth cohort (Valencia, Spain, N = 162) was used to study the impact of environmental exposure (acute and chronic) on infant gut microbiota during the first year of life (amplicon-based 16S rRNA sequencing)
Associations between maternal exposure to air pollution during . . . Maternal exposure to air pollution during pregnancy may impair the growth of infants We examined the relationships between infants’ growth trajectories and prenatal exposure to air pollution, which is still under-investigated
