Black carbon (BC) is an air pollutant of emerging concern, and further evidence is needed to understand its health effects. This study investigates the association between gestational BC exposure and birth outcomes, and whether these effects are independent of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure. We used data from the population-based birth cohort, Maternal
