Prenatal and Early Life Exposure to Ambient Air Pollutants Is Associated with the Fecal Metabolome in the First Two Years of Life.


ABSTRACT: Prenatal and early life air pollution exposure has been linked with several adverse health outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying these relationships are not yet fully understood. Therefore, this study utilizes fecal metabolomics to determine if pre- and postnatal exposure to ambient air pollutants (i.e., PM10, PM2.5, and NO2) is associated with the fecal metabolome in the first 2 years of life in a Latino cohort from Southern California. The aims of this analysis were to estimate associations between (1) prenatal air pollution exposure with fecal metabolic features at 1-month of age, (2) prior month postnatal air pollution exposure with fecal metabolites from 1-month to 2 years of age, and (3) how postnatal air pollution exposure impacts the change over time of fecal metabolites in the first 2 years of life. Prenatal exposure to air pollutants was associated with several Level-1 metabolites, including those involved in vitamin B6 and tyrosine metabolism. Prior month air pollution exposure in the postnatal period was associated with Level-1 metabolites involved in histidine metabolism. Lastly, we found that pre- and postnatal ambient air pollution exposure was associated with changes in metabolic features involved in metabolic pathways including amino acid metabolism, histidine metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism.
