夏说英语新闻晨读 第430期:空气污染如何影响胎儿（在线收听）

 本期内容：

Scientists have found the first evidence that particles of air pollution travel through pregnant women's lungs and lodge in their placentas.

"It is a worrying problem – there is a massive association between air pollution a mother breathes in and the effect it has on the foetus," said Dr Lisa Miyashita.
