Background: Previous epidemiologic studies suggest associations between preterm birth and ambient air pollution. O bjective : We investigated associations between 11 ambient air pollutants, estimated by combining Community Multiscale Air Quality model (CMAQ) simulations with measurements from stationary monitors, and risk of preterm birth (
