PITTSBURGH, Pa. — In a study that is the first of its kind, a team of researchers is studying ways to make childbirth procedures more sustainable by examining the environmental impacts of childbirth.

With funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh have teamed up to improve sustainable childbirth procedures through vaginal delivery and birth by cesarean section.
