Abstract
We examined interactions between periconceptional folic acid (FA) and air pollution exposure on risk of ASD. Mothers exposed to higher levels of air pollution during the first trimester of pregnancy and who reported low supplemental FA intake during the first pregnancy month were at a higher ASD risk compared to mothers exposed to lower levels of air pollution and who reported high first month FA intake. Our results suggest that periconceptional FA intake may reduce ASD risk in those with high prenatal air pollution exposure.
