Exposure to Asian dust within a few days of delivery is associated with placental abruption in Japan: a case‐crossover study

Asian dust is a natural phenomenon in which dust particles are transported from desert areas in China and Mongolia to East Asia. Short‐term exposure to Asian dust has been associated with cardiovascular disease through mechanisms such as systemic inflammation. Because inflammation is a potential trigger of placental abruption, exposure may also lead to abruption. We examined whether exposure to Asian dust was associated with abruption.
