(STUDY FINDS) – Around the United States, birthweights have steadily declined. Now, researchers from Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) suggest that this trend may have a connection to traffic congestion.

“For years, we’ve had detailed models to predict air pollution, but these models largely omit traffic congestion – because it could not be measured at a large scale,” says corresponding author Dr. Mary Willis, assistant professor of epidemiology at BUSPH, in a university release.
