Study Examines Link Between Prenatal Air Pollution Exposure and Cerebral Palsy Risk in Infants

A recent study published in JAMA Network Open explores the potential link between prenatal exposure to air pollution and the risk of cerebral palsy in infants. Research suggests that air pollution, especially fine particulate pollutants, can impact brain development. The study, based on data from Ontario, Canada, from 2002 to 2017, investigates the association between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and cerebral palsy in full-term infants.
