Wintertime Wood Smoke, Traffic Particle Pollution, and Preeclampsia.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have reported associations between ambient fine particle concentrations and preeclampsia; however, the impact of particulate pollution on early- and late-onset preeclampsia is understudied. Furthermore, few studies have examined the association between source-specific particles such as markers of traffic pollution or wood combustion on adverse pregnancy outcomes. Electronic medical records and birth certificate data were linked with land-use regression models in Monroe County, New York for 2009 to 2013 to predict monthly pollutant concentrations for each pregnancy until the date of clinical diagnosis during winter (November-April) for 16 116 births. Up to 30% of ambient wintertime fine particle concentrations in Monroe County, New York is from wood combustion. Multivariabl
