摘要：

Background and Aims: Nanoparticles can pass the lung tissue, reach the circulation and in case of transplacental transport may affect the unborn child. Aim of this work was to determine whether exposure to particulate matter containing nanoparticles in part resulting from diesel exhaust may influence cytokine levels in the cord blood of newborns. We hypothesized that proinflammatory markers are increased in children of highly exposed mothers compared to controls.
