Association between maternal exposure to ambient PM10 and neural tube defects: A case-control study in Liaoning Province, China.

CONCLUSIONS: Maternal exposure to PM10 is positively associated with NTDs during the critical period of fetal neural tube development. However, due to the limitation of the exposure assessment as well as potential residual confounding, further research is warranted to confirm our findings.
