Abstract

The early life exposome plays a crucial role in determining lifelong health trajectories. Effect of outdoor pollution on children's health has been studied extensively. However, Indoor exposome effects have been documented not that well. As people spend most of their time indoors, it is important to study the effect of the indoor exposome also. The aim of this project is to assess the role of prenatal and early life exposure to indoor pollutants on children's health, in Luxembourg. The project will set-up a national prospective pregnancy cohort. Eligible mothers will be included in the study in the first trimester of pregnancy. Both mothers and their newborn babies will be followed until 12 years post-partum. To our knowledge, this will be the first mother-child cohort evaluating prenatal and early life exposure to indoor pollutants on children's health conducted in Luxembourg.
