How environmental factor is responsible for abortion

Smoking -
Cigarette smoking increases the risk due to formation of carboxy haemoglobin and decreased oxygen transfer to the fetus. Alcohol consumption should be avoided or minimized during pregnancy.

X-Irradiation and antineoplastic drugs are known to abortion. X-ray exposure is a risk of abortion,
so it is avoided or minimized in the pregnancy period.

Contraceptive agents -
IUD (Intrauterine device) increases the risk whereas oral pill do not.

Drugs, chemicals and noxious agents -
Anaesthetic gases, arsenic, lead, formaldehyde increases the risk.

Miscellaneous - 
Exposure to electro-megnetic radiation from video display terminals does not increase the risk. Woman can safely use hair dyes, watch television and fly in airlines during pregnancy.
