Abstract
Congenital heart defects (CHD) impact nearly 40,000 infants annually with 80% of those diagnosed having an unknown etiology. Environmental risk factors potentially play an important part in CHD development. This research was conducted to further explore the relationship between air quality and a CHD diagnosis.
