Maternal exposure to air pollution nanoparticles and adverse birth outcomesEn-ligne
Air pollution is a complex mixture, including particulate matter (PM) and volatile compounds. Many are products of incomplete combustion, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and black carbon nanoparticles.
