Separate and joint effects of tranplacental and postnatal inhalatory exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Prospective birth cohort study on wheezing events

TL;DR: It appears that prenatal PAH exposure may precipitate and intensify early onset of wheezing symptoms in childhood, resulting from the postnatal exposure and suggest that success in reducing the incidence of respiratory diseases in children would depend on reducing both fetal and childhood exposure to air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Gene‐environment Interactions on Mental Development in African American, Dominican, and Caucasian Mothers and Newborns

TL;DR: The effects of interactions between prenatal PAH exposure and 21 polymorphisms or haplotypes in these genes on MDI at 12, 24, and 36 months among 547 newborns and 806 mothers from three different ethnic groups are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of the Effect of Prenatal PAH Exposure on PAH-DNA Adducts in Cord Blood by Plasma Antioxidants

TL;DR: A protective effect of micronutrients on the DNA damage and potential cancer risk associated with prenatal PAH exposure is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, antioxidant levels and behavioral development of children ages 6-9.

TL;DR: Lower alpha-tocopherol, gamma-toc Haitianrol and carotenoid levels may adversely affect healthy neurodevelopment, even after accounting for PAH exposure, and the importance of identifying modifiable factors for reducing harmful PAH effects is warranted.
