TLDR

The substantial percentage of preterm births estimated to be associated with anthropogenic PM2.5 (18% (13%-24%) of total pre term births globally) indicates that reduction of maternal PM2-5 exposure through emission reduction strategies should be considered alongside mitigation of other risk factors associated with preterm birth.
