Reanalysis of the effects of air pollution on daily mortality in Seoul, Korea: A case-crossover design.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Exposure to air pollution has been associated with higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, suggesting an inflammatory response. Not much is known about this association in pregnancy. OBJECTIVES:We investigated the associations of air pollution exposure during pregnancy with maternal and fetal CRP levels in ...
