Abstract
⺠We assessed umbilical cord morphology of fetuses exposed to air pollution. ⺠Intrauterine exposure to air pollution affects umbilical cord morphology. ⺠Fetuses exposed to air pollution presented thinner umbilical cords. ⺠Oxidative stress was increased in umbilical cord of exposed fetuses. ⺠An imbalance of endogenous regulators of the vascular tone was observed.
