In turn, air pollution is actually the cause of one in nine deaths– resulting in the annual premature mortality of over 7 million people.
That’s why, with air pollution being a global environmental health issue, it is critical to identify UFPs in order to protect pregnant women and other vulnerable populations from the mixture of gases and airborne particulate matter.
The researchers believe that their findings will help aid clinical and regulatory interventions in the future. And these interventions are especially important for pregnant women residing in urban cities since UFPs and influenza are more prevalent.
So, expectant mothers living in these regions should be provided with appropriate vaccinations while also limiting their exposure to UFPs.
“Air pollution is a pervasive environmental health issue. Strategies to protect the most vulnerable, like pregnant women, are of high priority to decrease adverse health effects,” Dr. Johnson underscored.
