Abstract

The study aims to determine the average PM2.5 concentration and the association between PM2.5 and low birth weight infant in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam in 2020. The concentration of PM2.5 is extrapolated from 31 monitoring air stations of PAMAIR network distributed across HCMC districts. The relationship between PM2.5 and low birth weight infant was determined through odds ratio and multivariable logistic regression model. The annual average concentration of PM2.5 was 27.8 µg/m3, which was higher than the WHO standard (PM2.5 < 10 µg/m3) as well as the Vietnamese standard (PM2.5 < 25µg/m3). The study found that exposure to high levels of PM2.5 during maternal pregnancy was a risk factor for having a low birth weight infant with OR: 1.01 (95% CI: 1.00 - 1.02). The study proposes that there should be measures to minimize the harmful effects of PM2.5 on the birth outcomes of the maternal women.
