Pollution and climatic change are some of the environmental factors that can significantly influence the health status of mothers and babies. The results may be low birth weight, preterm birth, and respiratory disorders. Midwives may handle this exposure so that mothers can minimize exposure to contaminants. To address these issues, public health professionals advocate policies that decrease pollution, slow global warming, raise public awareness, and induce preventive measures. Together, they work to minimize such environmental threats and improve the health of both mothers and babies.
