Spatial variations in ambient ultrafine particle concentrations and risk of congenital heart defects

Spatial variations in ambient ultrafine particle concentrations and risk of congenital heart defects

Background: Cardiovascular malformations account for nearly one-third of all congenital anomalies, making these the most common type of birth defects. Little is known regarding the influence of ambient ultrafine particles (<0.1 μm) (UFPs) on their occurrence. Objective: This population-based stud...
