Higher first trimester exposure to all pollutants was associated with lower language scores in toddlerhood adjusting for sex, ethnic group, maternal pregnancy complications, gestational age at birth, birth\u2010weight\n                      <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010score, home language environment and socioeconomic deprivation.

Increased air pollution exposure early in pregnancy is associated with altered early language development. Preterm infants demonstrate increased vulnerability to the adverse effects of gestational pollutant exposure on motor development in early childhood. Maternal exposure to air pollution during pregnancy is a potentially modifiable risk factor and reductions may improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.\n                      <jats:boxed-text content-type=\"graphic\" position=\"anchor\">\n                        <jats:graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" mimetype=\"image\/png\" position=\"anchor\" specific-use=\"enlarged-web-image\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/tjp70477-gra-0001-m.png\">\n                          <jats:alt-text>image<\/jats:alt-text>\n                        <\/jats:graphic>\n                      <\/jats:boxed-text>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>The effect of prenatal air pollution exposure on neurodevelopment in toddlers was examined.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Higher 1st trimester exposure was associated with lower language scores.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Higher exposure across gestation was associated with worse motor skills in very preterm infants.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1113\/jp290327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T23:00:21Z","timestamp":1777417221000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prenatal air pollution exposure is associated with altered neurodevelopmental outcomes in early childhood"],"prefix":"10.1113","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5487-5564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra F.","family":"Bonthrone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department of Early Life Imaging, Centre for the Developing Brain, School of Biomedical Engineering &amp;
