Main Article Content
Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) is microscopic solid or liquid matter suspended in the
atmosphere of Earth. The sources of PM can be natural or anthropogenic. The most common
used for classifiation of PM is the size of PM. PM 2.5 inflences general health problems.
Inhalation of PM 2.5 also causes obstetric complications such as low birth weight, preterm
delivery and stillbirth. Thus, pregnant women should avoid the exposure to PM 2.5 for prevention
of these obstetric complications.
