A potential association between exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy and the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children is suggested.
Abstract
Simple Summary Lymphomas are the third most frequent tumors in children under 15 years old, with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) comprising around 7% of childhood cancers. Lymphomas have few known risk factors, such as infectious agents, immune disorders, and environmental exposure to pollutant agents. This paper aims to better understand childhood lymphomas’ etiopathogenesis by analyzing the effect of prenatal particulate matter exposure on the incidence of NHL in children. We conducted a population-based case-control study with data from Spain from 2009 to 2016. We estimated the concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 for the entire pregnancy by a spatiotemporal random-forest model. Logistic regressions were modeled, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. Our findings suggest a potential association between exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy and the risk of developing NHL in children.
It is suggested that maternal exposure to particulate matter is positively associated with increased levels of ALT and AST in offspring, with the second trimester representing a potentially sensitive period.

Greater weight at birth, in childhood, and in late adolescence were all associated with greater risk of NHL, and overall associations did not substantively vary by major NHL subtype.

Long-term PM10 exposure was associated with higher odds of overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, and TgAb positivity among Chinese adults, suggesting that coarse particulate pollution may be a modifiable environmental factor related to hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity.

Female breast cancer (FBC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant cancer and the second leading cancer cause of death among women in the United States. Environmental exposures, particularly PM2.5-bound metals, have been increasingly associated with breast cancer incidence. We evaluated associations between long-term...
