Neonates, children under 28 days of age, are particularly vulnerable to exogenous compounds and at the highest risk of dying. Neonatal health problems, including preterm birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, intrapartum-related complications, and birth defects, are the major causes of neonatal deaths globally. Environmental pollutants have been found to act in concert with the medical level to determine the risks of these conditions. There is growing evidence to suggest that environmental pollutants, such as air pollutants and water pollutants are associated with increased risks of multiple adverse health effects. However, the results are still controversial. Identifying these risk factors has great potential for improving the survival and health of newborns worldwide. Therefore, more studies are needed to discover new environmental risk factors, confirm the causal relationship, and explore effective strategies to decrease the risk from harmful pollutants.
The relationship between environmental pollutants and neonatal health is still not fully established. In addition, exposure to multiple pollutants is rarely considered simultaneously. What’s more, knowledge on the burden from harmful environmental pollutants and possible mitigation strategies to decrease the risks of neonatal health are very limited. This Research Topic focuses on bridging the gap of knowledge on the impacts of environmental pollutants on neonatal health. We hope this Research Topic can help identify novel environmental risk factors, provide more evidence on the effects of harmful environmental pollutants on neonatal health, and explore the underlying mechanisms between them using large longitudinal cohorts, national-representative data, or well-conducted clinical trials.
This Research Topic is to encourage experimental, epidemiological, and modeling studies on the effects of environmental pollutants on neonatal health. We aim to provide more evidence on the causal relationships between harmful pollutants and neonatal health. We welcome Original Research and Reviews focusing on, but not limited to, the following subtopics:
• The effect of environmental pollutants on neonatal health.
• The effect of multiple environmental pollutants on neonatal health.
• The burden of environmental pollutants on neonatal health.
• The underlying mechanisms of environmental pollutants on neonatal health.
• The control strategies to reduce the risk of neonatal health.
