The association of early-life exposure to ambient PM2.5 and later-childhood height-for-age in India: an observational study

摘要

BackgroundChildren in India are exposed to high levels of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, population-level evidence of associations with adverse health outcomes from within the country is limited. The aim of our study is to estimate the association of early-life exposure to ambient PM2.5 with child health outcomes (height-for-age) in India.
