Pollution is hazardous for a pregnant lady as it may adversely affect the baby. I have come across studies that suggests that exposure to pollutants during pregnancy can lead to low birth weight which may later lead to several health issues.

I have come across articles that say that some of the air pollutants inhaled during pregnancy, could be the cause of cancer in children later.

Recently I came across an article that tells about some studies which suggests that high level of exposure to ail pollutants during pregnancy can adversely affect a child's IQ.

I have heard that being exposed to air pollution during pregnancy can lead to a child with lower birth weight.

Thanks a lot for your inputs. honeybee the link provided by you had useful information. I am planning to leave my job as I do not want to do anything that could be harmful for my baby.

One of my friend pointed out to a study that says that lot of exposure to air pollutants may lead to chromosomal abnormalities.

Hearing all these I am trying my best to keep myself away from pollution. I am even planning to go to our village place where there will be lots of greenery.
