Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution threatens the health of children in China.
TL;DR: A prospective molecular epidemiologic study of newborns in Chongqing has demonstrated direct benefits to children's health and development from the elimination of a coal-burning plant, which is a necessary investment for China's future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in fetal growth of newborns exposed prenatally to airborne fine particulate matter.

TL;DR: It is suggested that observed deficits in birth outcomes are rather attributable to prenatal PM(2.5) exposure and not to environmental tobacco smoke, and policy makers should consider birth outcomes by gender separately while setting air pollution guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
