Epidemiology of fine particulate air pollution and human health: biologic mechanisms and who's at risk?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Manganese is a common natural contaminant of groundwater in Bangladesh. In this cross-sectional study we assessed the association between water manganese and all-cause infant mortality in the offspring of female participants in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study Cohort.
