摘要

此前在美国进行的研究发现，当污染引发违反监管规定时，会对健康产生负面影响。一个重要的问题是，不会引发基于健康的违规行为的污染水平是否会影响健康。我们使用宾夕法尼亚州的饮用水采样结果数据研究了社区供水系统中饮用水污染对出生结果的影响。我们关注的是水污染对未违反法规的新生儿的影响。我们最严格的规范采用了母亲固定效应，发现从水污染的第10到第90个百分位(在没有违反法规的出生中)变化会增加12%的低出生体重和17%的早产。

Drinking water contaminant concentrations and birth outcomes

Previous research in the U.S. has found negative health effects of contamination when it triggers regulatory violations. An important question is whether levels of contamination that do not trigger a health-based violation impact health. We study the impact of drinking water contamination in community water systems on birth outcomes using drinking water sampling results data in Pennsylvania. We focus on the effects of water contamination for births not exposed to regulatory violations. Our most rigorous specification employs mother fixed effects and finds changing from the 10th to the 90th percentile of water contamination (among births not exposed to regulatory violations) increases low birth weight by 12% and preterm birth by 17%.
