Open Weather Map, combined with qweather™ improvement algorithm, Contains modified Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service Information, Some of the icons made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com, Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk. 63. However, as done successfully in previous Danish studies, our ambient air exposure model relies on the same (residential) locations, and on good input data, it has been successfully validated against measurements and has proven useful in many previous epidemiological applications. Allen JL, Oberdorster G, Morris-Schaffer K, et al. The geographic information system (GIS)-based air pollution and human exposure modeling system (AirGIS) is part of the integrated Danish Air Quality Monitoring Program and the multi-scale integrated dispersion modeling system THOR developed by the Department of Environmental Science at Aarhus University (formerly Danish National Environmental Research Institute [NERI]).

For particles and NO2, associations were only specific to autism and Asperger diagnoses. Lippincott Journals Subscribers please login with your username or email along with your password. 1. Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. Recently, rodent studies report effects of diesel and concentrated ambient air particle exposures on brain morphology, animal behavior, inflammatory markers, and neurotransmitters.6. An alternate explanation is that this study may have assessed the wrong exposure period because it investigated only prenatal exposures. We conducted stratified analyses according to decade of birth (before and after the year 2000), child gender, and place of residence at birth (Copenhagen, suburbs, and large cities versus provincial and rural towns/communities), and also distinguished between subtypes of ASD (AD, Asperger, and PDD-NOS). Validity of childhood. In contrast, a smaller study that identified 245 ASD cases in the US nationwide Nurses Health Study (NHS) cohort supported associations with pregnancy exposures only when coadjusting for all exposures to PM2.5 from 9 months before to 9 months after birth.13 Given these inconsistent findings, there is a need for larger studies that allow further explorations into the types, levels, and timing of air pollution exposures when assessing ASD risk. Finally, excluding children not diagnosed in psychiatric specialty hospitals from the analyses—assuming that these clinics achieve higher specificity in diagnosing ASDs—did not change results more than minimally.

Furthermore, a validated air dispersion model based on a nationwide emissions inventory provides estimates for nitrogen dioxides (NO2)/nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) at high temporal and spatial resolution at individual addresses.

This observation together with the stronger risks we estimated for children diagnosed before ages 5 or 10 with AD or Asperger/PDD-NOS diagnoses suggests that infancy exposures to NO2 and particles may be most relevant for more specific diagnoses with typical onset and ages at diagnosis. Link to reset your password has been sent to specified email address. In this nationwide study of Danish children, we found that air pollution exposures in early infancy but not in pregnancy contributed to an increased risk of ASD, specifically to autism and Asperger diagnoses. The same registry was the basis for control selection.

Although air pollution has decreased in Denmark over the decades we investigated, ASD diagnoses rates increased which has partially been attributed to children being diagnosed at earlier ages.61 Whether this ASD increase reflects an increase in diagnostic sensitivity at the expense of specificity is not clear.

In boys, effect estimates for particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and SO2 appeared stronger than in girls, whereas for NO2 estimates appeared stronger among girls but the 95% confidence intervals of all gender-specific estimates largely overlapped.

A role for early childhood exposures was previously suggested in a Taiwanese study in which air pollutant exposures (especially NO2) modeled at the residential postal code during the 1–4 years before diagnosis increased ASD risk considerably.41, The biological mechanisms by which air pollution may cause autism have been explored in toxicological studies that expose rodents to air particles and show abnormalities in brain morphology, behavior, inflammatory, and neurotransmitter responses.6 Some but not all experiments suggested sex specificity for exposures to concentrated ambient air particles during certain pre- or postnatal periods including changes in CNS neurotransmitters and glial activation across multiple brain regions.42–44 It has also been suggested that diesel exhaust particles have endocrine-disrupting effects, affect sexual differentiation, and alter cognitive function in mice.45,46 Traffic-related and particulate air pollutants in human studies furthermore have been shown to induce inflammation and oxidative stress, and these may be potential pathways responsible for effects of air pollution on neurologic outcomes including autism.47–55 In particular, biomarker studies reported increases in the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukins in postmortem brain tissue of autistic cases.56 Plasma samples of children diagnosed with autism found increased plasma levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 and reduced concentrations of tumor growth factor-β, related to immune response and inflammatory processes.51,52,57 Furthermore, exposure to air pollution during pregnancy resulted in changes in IgE and in lymphocytes in cord blood samples, supporting the notion that maternal exposure to air pollution is associated with altered immune profiles in the fetus.58,59 Additionally, maternal antibodies to fetal brain tissue were found in a subset of autism cases.60. may email you for journal alerts and information, but is committed Berkowicz R, Ketzel M, Jensen SS, Hvidberg M, Raaschou-Nielsen O. An early study which relied on a few hundred autism cases born between 1997 and 2008 in Los Angeles reported a higher risk with residency within 309 meters of a freeway in late pregnancy and early infancy compared with those living further away.11 For these same children, researchers also estimated high odds ratios (ORs = 1.8–3) for autism with third trimester and first year of life traffic exhaust exposure measures derived from a line-source dispersion model (CALINE4) as well as NO2, PM2.5, and PM10 from ambient monitoring stations.15 For 7603 autism cases and ≈70,000 controls born in Los Angeles between 1995 and 2006, we previously generated traffic-related exposures (NO2) at birth addresses from an LUR model and for PM2.5, PM10, ozone, CO, and NO2 from routine air monitoring12; we estimated a 7%–12% increase in autism risk per IQR increase in LUR-derived NO2 and monitored PM2.5 throughout pregnancy but did not assess pre- or postpregnancy exposures.

When we stratified by residential location at birth, all pollutants were positively and more strongly associated with ASD among residents of Copenhagen and its suburbs, in addition to other large cities (Aarhus, Odense, Alborg), whereas for those living in provincial towns and rural communities, only SO2 was positively associated with ASD and confidence intervals excluded the null.
