Scientists probe hidden link between dirty air and dangerous pregnancies

This study looked at whether long-term exposure to air pollution makes pregnancy more dangerous for women who already have high blood pressure in their lungs (pulmonary hypertension). Researchers analyzed medical records from 1,200 pregnant women with this condition to see if worse air quality was connected to serious problems like maternal death or heart failure. The goal was to gather information to help manage these high-risk pregnancies in polluted environments.
