"The number is just staggering," says epidemiologist Rakesh Ghosh at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the study. Each year about 2.42 million infants die within the first 27 days of life. The new study suggests air pollutions contribute to about 20% of those deaths
Fine particulates, or PM 2.5, are especially dangerous forms of pollution because the particles are small enough to reach deep into a person's lungs and even absorb into the bloodstream, as well. For each 10 unit increase in PM 2.5 over the course of pregnancy, a woman's risk of giving birth to a low-weight baby increases by about 6%, Ghosh and his team report in the journal"This risk might appear small," Ghosh says,"but when you multiply that 6% by the enormous amount of exposure that moms have in some countries, their risk multiples by orders of magnitude."
Awaiting a statement from nrlc I assume I will be waiting for a long, long time
WritesMore Oh damn. That is a full term environmental abortion. The GOP are not protecting babies with the continual use of fossil fuels.
xpstudiosmd For your science teacher.
Two words that will automatically disqualify this article for the right are, globe and California. They’ll be happy to continue polluting.
Where's the pro lifers at?
PLEASE SHARE/RETWEET. Baby Joshua is battling acute lymphocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Only eight-month-old, his life is dependent on chemotherapy & a stem cell transplant. Help his family in offsetting the cost of his treatment here:
Those fireplaces, firepits, and wood fire restaurants all contribute too. I don't care how much you want to think it's cool. It's air pollution and contributes to global warming.
They're pro birth If they were pro life the 220k+ dead would mean something
they don’t believe science though and think everything is up to God, which is so fucking scary. If GOD existed, he’d be so pissed at conservatives and could never forgive what they are doing to this world
NPR wants people to think pollution is the reason babies die? 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously? How about PLANNED PARENTHOOD? MAAFA21
Wow! That’s worse than COVID!
Where are all the ProLife bishes now?
BerniceKing Wow!
BerniceKing This is why we need to start switching over to ethanol gas powered cars, geo thermal (yes even cold ass Ohio can do it), solar, and wind power. You go to Maryland you see about 50 miles of wind turbines in Virginiaand West Virginia and into Maryland. Ohio has a few on Lake Erie
😢
It’ll be interesting watching the mental gymnastics of pro-life people who are also climate-change deniers...
BerniceKing EndSARS RevolutionNow BMG
BerniceKing Pro lifers where ya at?
But show me the anti-choice people that are pro green new deal —
I’m sure pro lifers will be all over this and commit to clean air measures. Just kidding. They aren’t really pro life.
This is why voting republican makes you not pro-life.
NPR’s refusal to report on the facts and documentation provided by Mr. Bobulinski is journalistic negligence. Your organization has lost all credibility as a news reporting outlet.
How many deaths to babies did abortion attribute too?
Fake News in the last debate Donald said it was clean even cleaner than filthy India. The media to Believe ten single source of news, science, health, economics domestic relations foreign relation. The fear Orange leader!!!!
TheKingCenter The pro life right was unable to be reached for comment.
Sounds like a computer model.
And the Dems abortion policy kills 600,000 right here in the US..
BITCOIN IS GOING NUTS!! It is up over $500 to $13.7k and it isn't suppose to slow down till 20k!!!! SHES A PEACH 🍑!!
Global warming at work.
But it's all a hoax, right, pro-life wackos? Or could it be that women are easier to control than pollution? Still, the 'family values' set are quiet on this one...
But the GOP don't give a damn about those lives if it doesn't involve controlling a woman or controlling her uterus.
Humans are garbage
PracheeAC This is where the 'pro life' party will show themselves to be complete hypocrites yet again. They won't give a shit about this if there's corporate profits to be made. Maybe one day Christians will realise they've joined the party of the devil, but I doubt it. Hypocrisy rules.
MAKE SURE THOSE REPUBLICANS, SO CALLED, “PRO LIFE”, READ THIS
Interesting read but very depressing.
You would think the pro-life GOP and potus would do something about this... GOPHypocrisy GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPComplicitTraitors
Still can't keep pace with abortions.

So you can't be pro-life and against climate change? Whodathunkit!?
This whole pollution thing may be worth getting a handle on.
This must Be addressed. Not C02 Tax. We need Clean Air. It is a Human Right to Breath!
More good news please(((
