Association of maternal multi-metal exposure and dyslipidemia: a study of air pollution on pregnancy outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to air pollutants, including heavy metals, is a major environmental concern of public health and these environmental toxicants have been associated with pregnancy complications.

Objectives

An air pollution on pregnancy outcome (APPO) study was performed to investigate the adverse effects of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) exposure on pregnancy outcomes. This study examined the association between maternal urinary metal mixtures and pregnancy complications, including dyslipidemia and preterm birth (PTB).

Methods

The concentrations of 16 metals were measured in 60 urine samples collected during the second trimester pregnancy. Logistic regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models were used to analyze the single and overal
