In Italy, lower cognitive scores assessed at 5-8 years through the Developmental Profile 3 were noticed for increased maternal exposure to PM 10 during the second, third trimesters and overall pregnancy (Girardi et al., 2021). Of note, distributed lag models implemented in the Southern California Mother's Milk Study highlighted adverse associations between PM 10 exposure during the 5 th and 6 th months of pregnancy (a sensitive window close to ours) and composite cognitive score assessed through the Bayley-III scale in 2-year-old children (Morgan et al., 2023).
