Study finds how air pollution triggers biological changes that lead to premature births

A recent study has uncovered the biological process which reveals how pregnant women exposed to PM2.5 air pollution could be at a higher risk of premature deliveries. The study included researchers from Emory University in the US and was published in the Environmental Science and Technology journal.  Researchers analysed blood samples from 330 African American pregnant women in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The team said that the women living i…
