Article Synopsis
- Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are caused by a mix of genetic factors and environmental influences, with air pollution emerging as a significant factor, although debates about the evidence continue.
- This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of research to evaluate the link between maternal air pollution exposure and the risk of CHDs in their children, while also checking for variability and publication bias.
- The analysis included 26 studies, revealing that high levels of carbon monoxide exposure were associated with a greater risk of certain heart defects, while specific increases in particulate matter and ozone were linked to an increased risk of atrial septal defects and coarctation of the aorta, respectively.
