Particulate matter (PM), a major component of ambient air pollution, accounts for a substantial burden of diseases and fatality worldwide. Maternal exposure to PM during pregnancy is particularly harmful to children’s health since this is a phase of rapid human growth and development.
Method
In this review, we synthesize the scientific evidence on adverse health outcomes in children following prenatal exposure to the smallest toxic components, fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine (PM0.1) PM. We highlight the established and emerging findings from epidemiologic studies and experimental models.
Results
Maternal exposure to fine and ultrafine PM directly and indirectly yields numerous adverse birth outcomes and impacts on children’s respiratory systems, immune status, brain development, and cardiometabolic health. The biological mechanisms underlying adverse effects include direct placental translocation of ultrafine particles, placental and systemic maternal oxidative stress and inflammation elicited by both fine and ultrafine PM, epigenetic changes, and potential endocrine effects that influence long-term health.
Conclusion
Policies to reduce maternal exposure and health consequences in children should be a high priority. PM2.5 levels are regulated, yet it is recognized that minority and low socioeconomic status groups experience disproportionate exposures. Moreover, PM0.1 levels are not routinely measured or currently regulated. Consequently, preventive strategies that inform neighborhood/regional planning and clinical/nutritional recommendations are needed to mitigate maternal exposure and ultimately protect children’s health.

Background
Human exposure to ambient air pollution is a pervasive public health issue based on the substantial cause of disease and death worldwide [1]. Suspended aerosols known as particulate matter (PM) are a predominant toxic component of ambient air pollution emitted by a variety of sources, including vehicular traffic, coal-burning power plants, waste burning, and other industrial activities. Particulate matter (PM) is classified by size as either “coarse” (PM10) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm, “fine” (PM2.5) with a diameter less than 2.5 μm, or “ultrafine” (PM0.1) with a diameter less than 0.1 μm. The fine and ultrafine fractions can penetrate deeper in the airways in comparison to coarse particles, leading to numerous adverse health effects. A wealth of evidence highlights maternal exposure to pollutants during pregnancy represents a window of susceptibility for fetal development and children’s long-term health. For instance, it is well-established that early life tobacco smoke exposure increases the risk of respiratory infection and asthma in infancy and childhood [2, 3]. Analogous to tobacco smoke, developmental exposure to PM2.5 has been intensively investigated in human epidemiological studies. Agen Togel Terpercaya
