This study aims to assess whether viral circulation confounds or modifies the association between daily levels of air pollution and pediatric WAD emergency department (ED) visits.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a time-series analysis of 12,603 WAD ED visits among children 2-18 years old across eight hospitals in the Netherlands (2016-2023). Quasi-Poisson models estimated associations between same-day nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), fine and coarse particulate matter (PM₂․₅, PM₁₀) and ozone (O₃) and daily WAD ED visits, and adjusted for seasonality, meteorology and pollen.

We obtained data for PFAS in public drinking water from the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5, 2023-ongoing). We used geographic information systems to spatially join water system boundaries (n = 9,733) with census tracts applying population-weighted areal interpolation.

For example, for 6:2-FTS, the adjusted PR comparing the highest quintile (0.0182-0.663 µg/L, population-weighted) to samples below the minimum reporting level (< 0.005 µg/L) was 1.04 (95% CI 1.02-1.07, p < 0.001).
