Background: The association between air pollution exposure and emotional and behavioural problems in children
is unclear. We aimed to assess prenatal and postnatal exposure to several air pollutants and child's depressive
and anxiety symptoms, and aggressive symptoms in children of 7–11 years.
Methods: We analysed data of 13182 children from 8 European population-based birth cohorts. Concentrations
of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) with diameters of ≤10 μm
(PM10),≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), and between 10 and 2.5 μm (PMcoarse), the absorbance of PM2.5 filters (PM2.5abs), and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were estimated at residential addresses of each participant. Depressive
and anxiety symptoms and aggressive symptoms were assessed at 7–11 years of age using parent reported tests.
Children were classified in borderline/clinical range or clinical range using validated cut offs. Region specific
models were adjusted for various socio-economic and lifestyle characteristics and then combined using random
effect meta-analysis. Multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting methods were applied to correct for
potential attrition bias.
Results: A total of 1896 (14.4%) children were classified as having depressive and anxiety symptoms in the
borderline/clinical range, and 1778 (13.4%) as having aggressive symptoms in the borderline/clinical range.
Overall, 1108 (8.4%) and 870 (6.6%) children were classified as having depressive and anxiety symptoms, and
aggressive symptoms in the clinical range, respectively. Prenatal exposure to air pollution was not associated
with depressive and anxiety symptoms in the borderline/clinical range (e.g. OR 1.02 [95%CI 0.95 to 1.10] per
10 μg/m3 higher NO2) nor with aggressive symptoms in the borderline/clinical range (e.g. OR 1.04 [95%CI 0.96
to 1.12] per 10 μg/m3 higher NO2). Similar results were observed for the symptoms in the clinical range, and for
postnatal exposures to air pollution.
Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that prenatal and postnatal exposure to air pollution is not associated
with depressive and anxiety symptoms or aggressive symptoms in children of 7 to 11 years old. [-]
