A study in which mother wore personal air monitors during pregnancy has concluded that those that were exposed to poor air quality had children with IQ scores that were 4 points lower than those less exposed.
This research clearly shows the detrimental effects of poor air quality. The pollutants in this test were known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). PAH is released from burning of fossil fuels like coal, and gas, and even tobacco.
The study was done by a component of the US Environmental Protection Agency.

I absolutely agree with this short article. In my experience as a licensed indoor air quality consultant I have treated the worst air pollutants in every house that I have been to. And I totally believe pregnant women should take extra care, especially the air that they inhale day by day.
