We examine the impact of air pollution on infant death, fetal death, birth weight, and gestation in California over the 1990s. Our work offers several innovations over the existing literature. First, most previous studies examine populations subject to greater levels of pollution, either because they lived further in the past or in some more heavily polluted area. In contrast, the experience of...

background: in most cancer cases, the treatment choice for a pregnant patient is radiotherapy. in these patients, the abdomen is usually not exposed therefore fetus exposure is due to peripheral dose (pd). the purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal dose (the maximum pd in each pregnancy stage) for modalities available and to fabricate and evaluate a generally applicable fetal shield. m...
