Are There Specific Neonatal Disorders Linked to PM Exposure?
Yes, several neonatal disorders have been linked to PM exposure. These include:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Increased PM levels can worsen respiratory conditions in newborns. Neonatal Sepsis: There is emerging evidence suggesting a correlation between high PM exposure and an increased risk of infection in newborns. Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Prolonged exposure to PM during pregnancy has been associated with developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
