Table 4 Significant lag-specific effects of prenatal exposure to NO2 or PM2.5 on children’s MDI and PDI, for a 1 SD-unit increase in NO2 or a 1 SD-unit increase in PM2.5, where SD is estimated using exposure levels within the entire pregnancy

From: Prenatal exposure to air pollution during the early and middle stages of pregnancy is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes at ages 1 to 3 years
