Scientists say they have found evidence of black carbon particles in umbilical cord blood - which shows they can cross the placenta
Air pollution particles can get into the organs of foetuses as they develop in the womb, potentially damaging development, a study has suggested.
During their study, they examined 60 mothers and their babies in Aberdeen and the Grampian region in Scotland. The number of particles found depended on the amount of air pollution the mother was exposed to during pregnancy. "These findings are especially concerning because this window of exposure is key to organ development."
