Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure adversely impacts child airway health; however, research on prenatal PM2.5 exposure, and child lung function is limited. We investigated these associations in the ECHO-PATHWAYS Consortium, focusing on the role of exposure timing during different phases of fetal lung development.
