The effect of climate anomalies and ambient air pollution on spontaneous miscarriage in Ghana: Evidence from a national cross-sectional survey
This study underscores the significant role of climate anomalies and AAPs in increasing spontaneous miscarriage risk in Ghana. The effect modification by EVI highlights vegetation's potential to mitigate the impact of environmental stressors. These findings stress the need for policies addressing air pollution and climate change to protect maternal health, especially in vulnerable regions.
