- Abstract
Indoor air pollution is a recognized risk factor for a range of negative health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal prenatal exposure to indoor air pollution and the presence of autistic‐like behaviors among preschool children. Data were obtained from the Longhua Child Cohort Study in 2017, in which we enrolled a total of 65 317 preschool children. Associations between maternal exposure to four sources of indoor air pollution (e.g., cooking, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), mosquito coils, and home decoration) during pregnancy and preschool children's autistic traits were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Our results showed that maternal exposure to indoor air pollution from four different sources during pregnancy was associated with the presence of children's autistic‐like behaviors. There was dose‐response relationship between the accumulative exposure to the four different indoor air pollution sources and the risk of autistic‐like behaviors. Furthermore, we found a significant additive interaction between prenatal exposure to both cooking and mosquito coil incense on the risk of autistic‐like behaviors. Maternal prenatal exposure to the indoor air pollution from four sources might increase with the risk of autistic‐like behaviors being present among preschool children, with an additive interaction effect between some pollution sources.
