AB  - The prevalence of hypertension in children has increased significantly in recent 
      years in China. The aim of this study was to provide scientific support to 
      control ambient heavy metals (HMs) pollution and prevent childhood 
      hypertension. In this study, ambient HMs in PM(2.5) were collected, and 1339 
      students from Tianjin were randomly selected. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) 
      was used to identify and determine the sources of HMs pollution. The generalized 
      linear model, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and the quantile 
      g-computation method were used to analyze the relationships between exposure to 
      HMs and the risk of childhood hypertension. The results showed that HMs in 
      PM(2.5) mainly came from four sources: soil dust, coal combustion, incineration 
      of municipal waste and the metallurgical industry. The positive relationships 
      between As, Se and Pb exposures and childhood hypertension risk were found. Coal 
      combustion and incineration of municipal waste were important sources of HMs in 
      the occurrence of childhood hypertension. Based on these accomplishments, this 
      study could provide guidelines for the government and individuals to alleviate 
      the damaging effects of HMs in PM(2.5). The government must implement policies to 
      control prime sources of HMs pollution.
