TL;DR: It is suggested that middle to late pregnancy is the most susceptible air pollution exposure window for air pollution and PTB among women in Guangzhou, China.

TL;DR: It is indicated that maternal first trimester exposure to SO2 increased the risk of GDM, while pre-pregnancy O3 exposure was inversely associated with GDM risk, and additional mechanism studies on the molecular level are needed to provide persuasive rationale underlying the air pollution-GDM relationship.

TL;DR: First trimester exposure to SO2 was associated with increased GDM risk, especially during the 4th to 10th gestational weeks, and the effect might be stronger among women taking folic acid supplements.

TL;DR: Evidence that exposure to heatwaves during the final gestational week can independently trigger preterm birth is strengthened, which adds new evidence to the current understanding of combined effects of air pollution and meteorological variables on adverse birth outcomes.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that prenatal exposure to PM10 and SO2 increase preeclampsia risk in Shenzhen, China, and the effects could be modified by humidity.
