The research was carried out by the University of Utah and studied more than 1300 women with an average age of 28, who had sought help at hospital following a miscarriage in the first 20 weeks of their pregnancy.
The incidents were compared to each other, in terms of the levels of ozone, nitrogen and fine particular matter that was in the air in the preceding days.
It was discovered that there were 16% more miscarriages in the three to seven days when air quality was poor.
Women exposed to elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide were also found to be at a higher risk of tragically losing their unborn baby before reaching 20 weeks.
However, University of Utah research analyst Claire Leiser warned that caution should be exercised when looking at the results.
"We are really only seeing the most severe cases during a small window of time," she said.
Nevertheless, she noted that the results suggest there could be an increased risk for individual mothers.
