Prenatal Fine Particulates Linked to Autism Risk

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this large cohort study, prenatal exposure to specific fine particulate matter (PM2.5) components and postnatal ozone (O3) exposure were associated with autism spectrum disorder risk. The second and third trimesters may represent sensitive exposure windows. These findings support further research on air pollution's role in autism spectrum disorder etiology.
