Effects of Prenatal Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure on Neonatal Outcomes—MLR and BKMR Models

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that pose a potentially serious threat to maternal and infant health, yet there are few studies on low-dose maternal and infant health. Therefore, this study investigated 2566 mother–infant pairs in Zunyi rural area, southwest China, and used multiple linear regression (MLR) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to reveal the relationship between pre-pregnancy PAHs exposures and neonatal birth outcomes. The results showed that more than 75
