A new study has found that exposure to air pollution can decrease the chances of a successful live birth after IVF treatment by almost 40%.
The study, conducted in Perth, Australia, analyzed data from over 1,800 patients who underwent frozen embryo transfers.
Researchers found that women exposed to the highest levels of air pollution in the two weeks before egg collection had a significantly lower chance of a live birth.
This suggests that pollution may negatively impact the quality of eggs, potentially affecting the success of IVF treatment.
