“…This study evaluated maternal and newborn outcomes among 1950 births from seven municipalities situated in the largest Brazilian coal mining region, in addition to evaluating the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. This region has received special attention in environmental health [11,[23][24][25][31][32][33] and epidemiological studies [2,28,29,34,35] because it is a socioeconomically and environmentally vulnerable region.…”

“…Research in the study region has shown an environment with moderate levels of contaminants [11,22], but these levels already pose a potential risk to human health [23][24][25][26]. Epidemiological studies have shown damage to health from exposure to coal [27][28][29][30], but the information on maternal and neonatal outcomes is still scarce in Brazil.…”

“…Addressing this requires urgent attention and effective measures to mitigate pollution sources, restore affected ecosystems, and ensure the long-term health and viability of rivers. The concept of catchment management strategies has been widely used to alleviate pollution 3 . These strategies, known as best management practices (BMPs), may include specific schedules, bans, guidelines, and other measures to prevent or reduce water pollution 4 .…”
