Particulate matter (PM) air pollution consists of liquid and solid particles, which are categorized by size as less than 10 (PM10) μm, 2.5 (PM2.5) μm, or 0.1μm (PM0.1 or ultrafine) in aerodynamic diameter and which vary in composition depending on the sources. PM exposure is ubiquitous and has been associated with many adverse health effects. This narrative review focuses on epidemiological and experimental studies that investigated the effects of PM exposure on female and male reproduction and on pregnancy.μ
