Air pollution exposure during pregnancy might affect placental growth and function, perhaps leading to complications.We prospectively evaluated the associations of maternal air with markers function among 7,801 pregnant women in Netherlands.We estimated levels particulate matter ≤ 10 µm aerodynamic diameter (PM10) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at home address for different periods using dispersion modeling techniques. Pro- anti-angiogenic factors [placental factor (PlGF) soluble fms-like tyrosine...
Air pollution exposure during pregnancy might have trimester-specific effects on fetal growth.We prospectively evaluated the associations of maternal air with growth characteristics and adverse birth outcomes in 7,772 subjects Netherlands.Particulate matter an aerodynamic diameter < 10 μm (PM10) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels were estimated using dispersion modeling at home address. Fetal head circumference, length, weight each trimester by ultrasound. Information was obtained from medical...
Exposure to air pollution is associated with elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We assessed the associations of exposure particulate matter (PM 10 ) nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 levels measured in each trimester pregnancy risks pregnancy-induced hypertension preeclampsia 7006 women participating a prospective cohort study Netherlands. Information on gestational hypertensive disorders was obtained from medical records. PM not first systolic diastolic pressure, but 10-μg/m 3...
Background: Exposure to air pollution has been associated with higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, suggesting an inflammatory response. Not much is known about this association in pregnancy.Objectives: We investigated the associations of exposure during pregnancy maternal and fetal CRP levels a population-based cohort study Netherlands.Methods: Particulate matter (PM) aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were estimated at home address using dispersion modeling for...
The use of low-cost sensors for air quality measurements is expanding rapidly, with an associated rise in the number citizens measuring themselves. This has major implications traditional monitoring as performed by Environmental Protection Agencies. Here we reflect on experiences Dutch Institute Public Health and Environment (RIVM) sensors, particularly NO2 PM10/PM2.5-sensors, related citizen science, over last few years. Specifically, discuss Innovation Program Monitoring, which comprises...
Abstract Previous studies suggest that pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. A prospective cohort study in their enables identification specific critical periods. This paper describes design pollution exposure assessment for participants Generation R Study, a population-based from early pregnancy onwards 9778 Netherlands. Individual exposures PM 10 NO 2 levels at home address were estimated mothers children, using combination...
In recent years it has been shown that aircraft emissions are a dominant source of ultrafine particles in the surroundings airports. However, health effects long-term (monthly to yearly) exposure these unknown. As part an integrated research program into risks around Schiphol Airport, applicability dispersion model STACKS + assess from aviation was assessed. A detailed comparison between modelled and measured particle number concentrations (PNC) due carried out at ten locations Airport...
ISEE-0311 Background and Objective: Exposure assessment of intra-urban air pollution concentrations for epidemiological studies remains difficult. Current approaches include dispersion modeling land use regression (LUR) modeling. There is however not much known about the comparability performances both methods. We compared a LUR model in Dutch study area. Methods: For Rijnmond area, i.e. Rotterdam surroundings, NO2 2001 were estimated 231,191 grid cells. The was developed using monitoring...
