Abstract:
|
Low Birth Weight (LBW) is a major health issue in Public Health. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the ambient air have been found to be associated with low birth weight. As PM2.5 is a complex mixture, there is an increasing evidence that heavy metals of PM2.5 and their mixtures play a central role. This study identify some mixtures and study their association with low birth weight.
