Maternal ozone exposure lowers infant’s birthweight: A nationwide cohort of over 4 million livebirths in Iran

These findings underscored the urgent need for government to incorporate socioeconomic factors into future ozone-related health policies, not only to mitigate pollution, but also minimize inequality.
