Introduction: While a number of studies have examined the effects of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on childhood obesity, the results reported have been inconsistent and few studies have integrated biological markers. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between prenatal exposure to PFAS and cardiometabolic health parameters at age 12, taking pubertal stage into consideration.
Method: This study included 394 mother-child pairs enrolled in the PELAGIE mother-child cohort (France).
Associations of exposure to outdoor PM and NO during pregnancy with childhood asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in a predominantly rural French mother-child cohort.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how outdoor air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO), affects childhood diseases like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema, especially in rural areas where the effects are less understood.
- It utilized data from the Pélagie mother-child cohort in Brittany, France, analyzing 1322 children at age 6 and 1118 at age 12 to assess the prevalence of these diseases and their coexistence (multimorbidity).
- Results indicated a tendency for PM and NO to associate with the diseases, particularly in urban areas, highlighting the need for further research on the differing impacts of air pollution in urban versus rural environments.
Article Synopsis
- - Bluetongue (BT) and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) are important animal diseases impacting cattle and sheep, caused by viruses transmitted by biting midges, with recent outbreaks noted in France during the summer of 2023.
- - Genomic analysis revealed three viruses involved in the outbreaks: EHDV-8, which matches strains found in southern Europe since 2021, and two different strains of BTV, including a novel BTV-8 strain and an established BTV-4 strain.
- - The 2023 outbreaks indicate unusual dynamics in the circulation and emergence of these viruses in France, prompting further investigation into the epidemiological factors contributing to their spread.
Although the ovarian reserve is constituted in utero, the literature on the effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) during this vulnerable period on the ovarian reserve later in life is limited. We investigated whether cord blood concentrations of POPs were associated with decreased anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH, a marker of the ovarian reserve) levels in girls at the age of 12. We included 239 girls from the French mother-child PELAGIE cohort.
