The study examined the placentas of a small group of less than 30 nonsmoking mothers exposed to air pollution. Researchers found the soot particles accumulated on the side of the placenta facing the fetus.

They found that when pregnant women breathe in black carbon, caused by combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or diesel, by vehicles, power plants and a range of other sources, the particles reach the placenta.

Nukes and natural gas produce no soot. This a Belgian study and the euros are closing nuke plants and building coal plants. We are building natural gas plants and closing coal plants. We should be building LNG export facilities and saving Asian and Euro babies. Why don't you care about the kids?
