TL;DR: The results support other findings that transplacental exposure to B[a]P from maternal inhalation produces DNA damage in the developing fetus and confirms the heightened fetal susceptibility to prenatal PAH exposure that should be a matter of public health concern, particularly in the highly polluted areas.

Rafael F. Narváez,Lori Hoepner,Steven N. Chillrud,Beizhan Yan,Robin Garfinkel,Robin M. Whyatt,David Camann,Frederica P. Perera,Patrick L. Kinney,Rachel L. Miller +9 more
TL;DR: Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, elemental carbon, diesel indicator, particulate matter, and a suite of metals declined from 1998 to 2006 in NYC due to policy interventions, with a decrease in personal PAHs exposures.

Prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, antioxidant levels and behavioral development of children ages 6-9.
Jeanine M. Genkinger,Jeanine M. Genkinger,Laura Stigter,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Tzu Jung Huang,Shuang Wang,Emily L. Roen,Renata Majewska,Agnieszka Kiełtyka,Elzbieta Mroz,Frederica P. Perera +10 more
TL;DR: Lower alpha-tocopherol, gamma-toc Haitianrol and carotenoid levels may adversely affect healthy neurodevelopment, even after accounting for PAH exposure, and the importance of identifying modifiable factors for reducing harmful PAH effects is warranted.

Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera,Agnieszka Pac,Ryszard Jacek,Robin M. Whyatt,John D. Spengler,Thomas S. Dumyahn,Elzbieta Sochacka-Tatara +7 more
TL;DR: The study is a part of an ongoing prospective cohort study on the relationship between the exposure to environmental factors during pregnancy and birth outcomes and health of newborns and the contribution of the background ambient PM(10) level was very strong determinant of the total personal exposure to PM(2.5).
