Maternal Exposure to Air Pollution and Perinatal Outcomes in Victoria, Australia

2014年，维多利亚州拉特罗布山谷的Hazelwood露天棕色煤矿起火。黑兹尔伍德煤矿大火导致附近城镇被浓烟和灰烬覆盖了六个星期。人们对暴露于这种性质和持续时间的烟雾事件后的健康影响知之甚少。该提案将具体探讨火灾产生的烟雾事件对出生结果的影响，如早产和出生体重。

In 2014, the Hazelwood open cut brown coal mine in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria caught fire. The Hazelwood Mine Fire resulted in nearby towns being covered in plumes of smoke and ash over a period of six weeks. Little is understood about the health effects following exposure to smoke events of this nature and duration. This proposal will specifically explore the impact of the smoke event resulting from the fire on birth outcomes, such as preterm birth and birth weight.
