Background: Associations of ambient air pollutants with respiratory health are inconsistent. Objectives: We analyzed the associations of gestational and early life exposures to air pollutants with doctor diagnosed asthma, allergic rhinitis, and pneumonia in children. Methods: We selected 3358 preschool children who did not alter residences after birth from a cross-sectional study in 2011-2012 in Shanghai, China. Parents reported children's respiratory health history, home environment, and family lifestyle behaviors. We collected daily concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <= 10 mu m (PM10) during the child's total lifetime (2006-2012) for each district where the children lived. We analyzed the associations using logistic regression models. Results: After adjusting for covariates and the other studied pollutants, we found that exposure to NO2 (increment of 20 mu g/m(3)) during the first year of life was significantly associated with asthma [odds ratio (OR) = 1.77; 95%_ confidence interval (CI): 1.29-2.43] and allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.07-2.61). Exposure to NO2 during gestation, the first two and three years, and over total lifetimewas all consistently associated with increased odds of allergic rhinitis. Quartiles of NO2 concentration during different exposure periods showed a slight dose-response relationship with the studied diseases. These diseases had significant associations with pollutant mixtures that included NO2, but had no significant association with exposures to SO2 and PM10 individually or in mixtures. Conclusions: Gestational and early life exposures to ambient NO2 are risk factors for childhood respiratory diseases. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
