From: Air pollution and children’s health—a review of adverse effects associated with prenatal exposure from fine to ultrafine particulate matter

Fig. 1

Evidence gleaned from human observational studies and animal models is essential in characterizing adverse health outcomes and deciphering the mechanisms of action to support preventive intervention testing. Selected strengths of these two methodological approaches are highlighted in the Venn diagram. In this review, we synthesize the scientific evidence on adverse health outcomes in children following prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ultrafine particles (UFPs, PM0.1). Additionally, we summarize the evidence on underlying mechanisms of action. Created with BioRender.com
