摘要

Background: The majority of studies do not simultaneously consider multiple co-occuring exposures when assessing potential neurotoxicity. Objectives: To assess associations between developmental exposure to a mixture of pollutants and children's neurodevelopment using a novel approach. Methods: Concentrations of mercury (Hg), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were measured in maternal and children's blood at 5 years (n=449). At 7 years, children were administered Boston Naming Test (BNT) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). We used the G-formula combined with the SuperLearner -an ensemble learning technique- to infer effect estimates for the mixture of chemicals and for each pollutant while mutually adjusting for all exposures and potential confounders. We also constructed exposure-response curves and assessed potential interactions. Results: Most chemicals showed a negative relationship with BNT scores. An inter quartile range (IQR) increase in prenatal Hg and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) concentrations was associated with 0.2 standard deviation [SD] (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: -0.3, 0) and 0.1 (95% CI: -0.3, -0.1) lower scores in the BNT, whereas a joint IQR increase in the mixture of chemicals was associated with 0.5 SD (95% CI: -0.7, -0.3) lower scores in the BNT. Additionally, an IQR increase in prenatal perfluoroctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and PFOA concentrations was associated with 0.15 (95% CI: 0.1, 0.2) and 0.1 SD (95% CI: 0, 0.3) higher (worse) total SDQ scores. A joint IQR increase in chemicals mixture was associated with 0.2 SD (95% CI: -0.1, 0.4) higher SDQ scores. Finally, a joint IQR increase in 5-years mixture of chemicals was associated with 0.2 SD (95% CI: 0, 0.4) higher total SDQ scores. Conclusions: Using a novel multi-pollutant approach, we confirmed previously reported associations between mercury and lower cognitive function. Additional attention should be directed towards emerging PFASs.
