Doctors Highlight Air Pollution's Impact on Newborns and Pregnancy at Conclave

At India TV's Pollution Ka Solution Conclave in New Delhi, doctors highlighted the severe health impacts of air pollution, especially on newborns and pregnant women. Experts described how polluted air damages lungs from birth, with newborns exhibiting lung conditions similar to smokers. Pregnant women face increased risks of high blood pressure, placental inflammation, and complications leading to miscarriage, low birth weight, and preterm births. Long-term effects include higher chances of asthma and developmental issues in children. The conclave emphasized the urgent need to address this growing health crisis.
