(4 years ago)At least one million births of dead babies in the world each year are caused by air pollution, according to the first global study of this type.

Briton The GuardianH writes that half of the world's total births are caused by exposure to plastic or metal micronae at 2.5 microns or more, mainly produced by fossil fuels.
The study included 137 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where the largest number of dead births occur, says the study, which is based on data of more than 45,000 dead and successful births.
The dead births are described as a neglected” tragedy in the 2020 report published by Unicef.
The epidemiological study did not examine what size of polluting particles cause dead births, but comes after last month's discoveries that micro-particles of plastic and metal have been found in the brain and lungs of deceased fetuses.
Air pollution parts have been first discovered in women's placentas in 2018, and since then it has been admitted that polluted air is strongly linked to spontaneous abortions during pregnancy, premature births, small birth weight, and problems in developing the baby's brain.
The achievement of air quality targets could prevent a significant number of dead births,” wrote researchers led by Dr Tao Xue of Beijing University.
Researchers added: “Air protection policies can prevent dead births, just as they can and personal protection against air pollution for pregnant women.
The study published in Nature magazine used birth data from 1998 to 2016 from 54 middle or low - income countries, including large countries like Pakistan, India, and Nigeria.
Nearly all the mothers in the study were exposed by PM2.5 or more micrograms of common pollution, which is more than O's instructions. BET for tolerable measures.
The polluted air was linked to 830,000 dead births in the world, or 40% total.
Researchers say that it is not yet a cry about how air pollution causes infant death in the womb, but it is believed that it is by micropartias that pass through the placenta, causing unrecoverable embryoic <x0); and it also limits the mother's ability to pass oxygen to the fetus. / /The Guardian/
