Abstract
The longitudinal impact of prenatal exposure to environmental air pollution (PM2.5) on early childhood temperament and whether the association is moderated by child sex was investigated in mother-child dyads. Higher PM2.5 levels during pregnancy were associated with more severe Externalizing behaviors at 18-36 months, but only for male children.
