Popis: BACKGROUND: Residential proximity to major roadways, and prenatal exposures to particulate matter 1000m away from a major roadway, those resided 50–100m [RR: 2.12 (1.00–4.52)] and 100–500m [RR: 2.07 (1.02–4.22)] away had twice the risk of failing the communication domain. Prenatal exposures to both PM(2.5) and ozone during various pregnancy windows had weak but significant associations with failing any developmental domain with effects ranging from 1.6%-2.7% for a 10 μg/m(3) increase in PM(2.5) and 0.7%-1.7% for a 10ppb increase in ozone. Average daily postnatal ozone exposure was positively associated with failing the overall screening by 8 months [3.3% (1.1%-5.5%)], 24 months [17.7% (10.4%-25.5%)], and 30 months [7.6%, (1.3%-14.3%)]. Findings were mixed for postnatal PM(2.5) exposures. CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective cohort study, proximity to major roadway and prenatal/early-life exposures to PM(2.5) and O(3) were associated with developmental delays. While awaiting larger studies with personal air pollution assessment, efforts to minimize air pollution exposures during critical developmental windows may be warranted.
