Pollution was always linked with allergy and especially the asthma and other throat complications. But the study have been conducted to see that the air pollution can also be responsible for lower birth weight, That means the mothers who live in air polluted ares may have children with lower weight right from the beginning.
Air pollution, even at relatively low levels, is associated with a significant increase in the risk for low-birth-weight babies, a new study has found.
European researchers pooled data from 14 studies that included more than 74,000 mother-child pairs in 12 countries. The scientists also estimated concentrations of airborne particulate matter at the mothers’ home addresses during their pregnancies.
