Birth Outcomes among Infants Born between 2006 and 2018 after Maternal Exposure during Pregnancy to Ultrafine Particles from Aviation around a Large International Airport in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People who live near airports are exposed to higher concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFPs) from aviation. Pregnant women and their fetuses, in particular, are considered to be highly susceptible to environmental exposures.

Objective

Using existing national databases, we investigated associations between adverse birth outcomes and exposure to UFPs from aviation (UFP-aviation) at the residential address during pregnancy.

Methods

We identified ∼286,000 singleton birth records (from between 2006 and 2018) from mothers who, for at least 6 months during pregnancy, lived in a 50×56km area around Schiphol Airport. This information was linked to modeled monthly averaged UFP-aviation concentrations at the residential address during pregnancy. We modeled the ass
