ABSTRACT

This work is essentially based on the analysis of harmful effects of environmental pollution on pregnant women. Factors that influence on quality of life in relation to environmental problems are related and some measures that can help reduce harmful effects and mother-fetal morbimortality are suggested. Updated bibliographic materials have been considered as well as the mother-child national intervention protocol. The analysis made confirm the need to develop joint prevention actions among different institutions, companies and community with the aim of eliminating or reducing environmental risk factors adverse to the health of pregnant women.
