Ambient Air Pollution and Risk of Pregnancy Loss among Women Undergoing Assisted Reproduction.

In conclusion, acute and chronic exposure to NO2, O3, PM2.5, and BC were not associated with risk of pregnancy loss; however, higher exposure to NO2 throughout pregnancy was associated with increased risk of loss 30 days after positive hCG. In this cohort, later pregnancy losses appeared more susceptible to the detrimental effects of air pollution exposure. PMID: 32937174 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
