Prenatal Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Cerebral Palsy
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38980674/

Conclusions and relevance: In this large cohort study of singleton full term births in Canada, prenatal ambient PM2.5 exposure was associated with an increased risk of CP in offspring. Further studies are needed to explore this association and its potential biological pathways, which could advance the identification of environmental risk factors of CP in early life.
