| In an article in the July 2008 edition of the journal Epidemiology, researchers examined the association of prenatal and lifetime exposures to air pollutants with pulmonary function in a cohort of children with asthma. Prenatal and lifetime exposure to several air pollutants were assessed for 232 children with asthma from the San Joaquin Valley of California. The results showed that prenatal and early life exposures to PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide had a negative effect on pulmonary function in subgroups of asthmatic children.
