A Cohort Study of Traffic-Related Air Pollution Impacts on Birth Outcomes
Michael Brauer,Cornel Lencar,Lillian Tamburic,Mieke Koehoorn,Paul A. Demers,Catherine J. Karr +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic review of the literature on associations between exposure to ambient air pollution and adverse pregnancy outcomes, concluding that evidence is sufficient to support a causal association between ambient concentrations of particulate matter and LBW, but evidence of effects for other pollutants and for other outcomes such as preterm birth is less robust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Early Life Exposure to Air Pollution on Development of Childhood Asthma
Nina Annika Clark,Paul A. Demers,Catherine J. Karr,Mieke Koehoorn,Cornel Lencar,Lillian Tamburic,Michael Brauer +6 more
TL;DR: A statistically significantly increased risk of asthma diagnosis with increased early life exposure to CO, NO, NO2, PM10, SO2, and black carbon is observed and the hypothesis that early childhood exposure to air pollutants plays a role in development of asthma is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Descriptive epidemiological features of bronchiolitis in a population-based cohort.
Mieke Koehoorn,Catherine J. Karr,Paul A. Demers,Cornel Lencar,Lillian Tamburic,Michael Brauer +5 more
TL;DR: This population-based study of the epidemiological features of bronchiolitis provides evidence for intervening with high-risk infants and their families and for modification of vulnerable environments where possible during high- risk periods such as the first few months of life or the winter season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Ambient Air Pollutant Sources on Clinical Encounters for Infant Bronchiolitis
Catherine J. Karr,Paul A. Demers,Mieke Koehoorn,Cornel Lencar,Lillian Tamburic,Michael Brauer +5 more
TL;DR: Air pollutants from several sources may increase infant bronchiolitis requiring clinical care and traffic, local point source emissions, and wood smoke may contribute to this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Otitis media incidence and risk factors in a population-based birth cohort.
Elaina MacIntyre,Catherine J. Karr,Mieke Koehoorn,Paul A. Demers,Lillian Tamburic,Cornel Lencar,Michael Brauer +6 more
TL;DR: Although the incidence of otitis media is generally low in southwestern British Columbia, important risk factors continue to be young maternal age, mothers who smoke during pregnancy and children with Aboriginal ancestry.
