Air Pollution’s Secret Impact on Newborns

Did you know where you live could impact your baby’s first days? New research found that moms exposed to high air pollution, especially nitrogen dioxide from cars and factories, are way more likely to have newborns needing intensive care. Babies exposed in the last month of pregnancy had a 30% higher risk of NICU admission! And it’s not just about location—season and income matter too. Cleaner air isn’t just about blue skies; it’s about giving every baby a fighting chance from day one. #AirPollution #NeonatalHealth #NICU #EnvironmentalJustice #CleanAir #Health
