Women undergoing IVF living in Barcelona were recruited. Individual air pollution exposures were modelled at their home address 15 and 3 days before embryo transfer (15D and 3D, respectively), the same day of transfer (D0), and 7 days after (D7). The pollutants modelled were: PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>[particulate matter (PM) \u22642.5 \u03bcm], PM<jats:sub>coarse<\/jats:sub>(PM between 2.5 and 10\u03bcm), PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>(PM\u226410 \u03bcm), PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>abs, and NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>and NOx. Outcomes were analyzed using multi-level regression models, with adjustment for co-pollutants and confouding factors. Two sensitivity analyses were performed. First, the model was adjusted for subacute exposure (received 15 days before ET). The second analysis was based on the first transfer performed on each patient aiming to exclude patients who failed previous transfers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred ninety-four women were recruited, contributing with data for 486 embryo transfers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Acute and subacute exposure to PMs showed a tendency in increasing miscarriage rate and reducing clinical pregnancy rate, although results were not statistically significant. The first sensitivity analysis, showed a significant risk of miscarriage for PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>exposure on 3D after adjusting for subacute exposure, and an increased risk of achieving no pregnancy for PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>, PM<jats:sub>coarse<\/jats:sub>and PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>on 3D.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The second sensitivity analysis showed a significant risk of miscarriage for PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>exposure on 3D, and a significant risk of achieving no pregnancy for PM2.5, PM<jats:sub>coarse<\/jats:sub>and PM10 particularly on 3D.
