Abstract
Background
The interactions between pollutants and temperature coexposure, the mixing effects and their potential mechanisms remain uncertain.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 11,766 women with infertility who received treatment at Fujian Hospital between 2015 and 2024. The daily mean concentrations of the six pollutants and the relative humidity and temperature data were acquired from the Fujian region. Data on genes were obtained from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database.
Results
O3 (aOR=0.80, 95% CI=0.725--0.891) and temperature (aOR=0.936, 95% CI=0.916--0.957) were negatively correlated with live birth rates. Moreover, PM10 (aOR=1.135, 95% CI=1.028--1.252) and PM2.5 (aOR=1.146, 95% CI=1.03--1.274) were positively associated with preterm birth. Among the effects on live births, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO, and SO2 had significant synergistic effects with temperature; in addition, O3 had significant antagonistic effects with temperature. A notable trend toward declining live birth rates with elevated concentrations of mixed pollutants was observed. Different infertility patients have different sensitivities to coexposure. Gene enrichment and cell experiments are associated mainly with cellular life activities.
Conclusions
Individual effects, interactions, and mixed effects between temperature and air pollutants and birth outcomes persist when air pollutant levels are relatively low. AAP may trigger miscarriage through cytotoxic effects.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
