| الوصف: | 90 Effect of Air Pollution on Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Abstract The petrochemical and petroleum industry is the main source of industrial air pollution in Taiwan. Reported herewith are the results from a seiries of ongoing studies of outdoor air pollution and the health of persons living in communities in close proximity to petrochemical or petroleum factories. The prevalences of term LBW in exposed municipality and control municipacity were 3.22% and 1.84% respectively. After controlling for several possible confounders (including maternal age, season, marital status, maternal education, and baby sex), the adjusted odds ratio was 1.767 (1.002-3.116) for term birth weight, when compared exposed municipality with cotrol municipality. The other reported herewith are the results from an ongoing study of outdoor air pollution of individuals living in communities in close proximity to a petroleum refinery plant. The prevalence of preterm birth in the petroleum municipalities and the rest of Taiwan were 3.11% and 2.28% respectively. After controlling for the same confounders, the adjusted odds ratio was 1.40 (1.08-1.82) for preterm delivery in the petroleum municilalities. Another reported herewith are the results from an ongoing study of outdoor air pollution of residents living in Kaohsiung City. All births were living nearby the air quality monitoring stations in 2 kilometers. The prevalences of term LBW and preterm birth were 4.6% and 5.4% respectively. After controlling for confounders, the adjusted odds ratio of LBW reveals statistical sinificant association with SO2 in second trimester. The adjusted odds ratios of preterm labor showed significant association with SO2 in the first trimeser, NOX in the first & the second trimesters, and PM10 in all three trimesters. These findings provide further support for the hypothesis that air pollution can affect the outcome of pregnancy and in different trimester. |
