This news is based on the following article: Estarlich M, Ballester F, Dadvand P, et al. Exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy and preterm birth: a Spanish multicenter birth cohort study. Environ Res 2016; 147: 50-8. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2016.01.037
This analysis of the combined population of four prospective Spanish birth cohorts supports the assumption that air pollution is a risk factor for preterm birth. Exposure during the second half of pregnancy is thought to be particularly harmful.
