Associations of Polycyclic Aromatic Organic Matter in Outdoor Air with Decreased Birth Weight: A Pilot Cross-Sectional Analysis

Data from EPA's Cumulative Exposure Project and birth records from New Jersey were used to examine whether a mother's residence at birth in census tracts with higher modeled hazardous air pollutants concentrations was associated with higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight infant. Pol...

description Data from EPA's Cumulative Exposure Project and birth records from New Jersey were used to examine whether a mother's residence at birth in census tracts with higher modeled hazardous air pollutants concentrations was associated with higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight infant. Polycyclic organic matter was selected as the model pollutant, and maternal and socioeconomic risk factors were controlled. For each outcome, particularly for the preterm small-for-gestational-age category, the highest polycyclic organic matter exposure categories had elevated odds ratios. After adjustment by both individual and tract-level variables, high polycyclic organic matter exposure remained associated with increased prevalence of small-for-gestational-age outcomes.
