Implication

This cohort study examines the effects of ambient air pollution on low birth weight and preterm birth in IVF patients, suggesting critical exposure windows.

Key Points

Increased levels of PM10 and NO2 correlate with higher risks of preterm birth and low birth weight.
Every 1 µg⋅m −3 increase in PM10 during critical windows raised preterm birth odds by 5% and 10%.
Associations between air pollution and adverse birth outcomes were more pronounced in the IVF group than in ICSI patients.
Exposure to air pollution during early pregnancy stages may increase risks for various birth outcomes.
