Carbon monoxide exposure in pregnant women in the UK
This study indicates that exposure of pregnant women to CO within the home occurs predominantly within current recommended safe limits, and that exposure is linked to the use of gas appliances, socio-economic factors and smoking. This study highlights the need for improved CO monitoring and mitigation strategies, particularly in vulnerable populations, to protect maternal and foetal health.
