Wildfire Risks to Fetuses
A study of 1,097 children born to mothers who were pregnant during Northern California wildfires between 2017 and 2020 found that exposure to fine-particle pollution in the second trimester and wildfire smoke in the third trimester was associated with a higher likelihood of the children developing asthma at an early age. The findings do not prove that smoke causes asthma, but they point to stages of pregnancy that may be more sensitive. The researchers advised pregnant people to stay indoors on smoky days, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers to reduce exposure.
