An article on ScienceDaily reported that while pregnant women may worry about the effects of air pollution on their health and that of their developing child, exposure to carbon monoxide and fine particles in the air during pregnancy does not appear to increase the risk of preterm delivery or preeclampsia. The research also is the subject of an article distributed by ANI.
