Preterm birth is the single most important cause of perinatal mortality and leading cause of subsequent morbidity in the western world. This project involves an investigation of the effects of fine airborne particulates and their chemical constituents on preterm birth among half a million pregnant women in Australia and the US. Levels of particulates will be rigorously assessed using traditional methods such as chemical analyses of field samples and novel methods such as processing satellite imagery.

早产是西方世界围产期死亡的唯一最重要原因，也是随后发病的主要原因。该项目涉及调查空气中细颗粒物及其化学成分对澳大利亚和美国50万孕妇早产的影响。将使用传统方法（如对实地样品进行化学分析）和新方法（如处理卫星图像）对颗粒物水平进行严格评估。
