Ground-level ozone (O) is one of the most worrisome air pollutants regarding environmental and health impacts. There is a need for a deeper understanding of its spatial and temporal dynamics. Models are needed to provide continuous temporal and spatial coverage in ozone concentration data with a fine resolution.

- This study investigates the impact of noise on the relationship between fetal growth restriction (FGR) or small for gestational age (SGA) in single pregnancies and exposure to air pollution in two French cities between 2005 and 2009.
- Researchers analyzed data from 8,994 pregnancies, identifying 587 cases of FGR and 918 cases of SGA, while measuring outdoor air pollution (nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter) and noise levels at mothers' residences.
- Findings indicate a significant association between increased particulate matter exposure and fetal growth issues, specifically during the late stages of pregnancy, while noise exposure showed no connection to FGR or SGA.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the effects of air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO), on fetal growth in women with multiple pregnancies, which are often excluded from such research.
- Conducted in Besançon and Dijon between 2005 and 2009, it examined medical records and assessed NO exposure based on residential addresses during key pregnancy periods.
- Results showed no link between NO and small for gestational age infants, but indicated a potential association between higher NO exposure and fetal growth restriction, highlighting the need for further investigation even at pollution levels below EU standards.
The urban environment holds numerous emission sources for air and noise pollution, creating optimum conditions for environmental multi-exposure situations. Evaluation of the joint-exposure levels is the main obstacle for multi-exposure studies and one of the biggest challenges of the next decade. The present study aims to describe the noise/NO2 multi-exposure situations in the urban environment by exploring the possible discordant and concordant situations of both exposures.
