I worry so much about air pollution

I'm nearly 38 weeks. Very excited to be nearly at the finish line.

I've spent pretty much my entire pregnancy being irrationally worried about air pollution. I live and work in London and it's impossible to avoid. My commute involves walking along s busy road (no real alternative), train to central London and tube. I know there are many children born in London who are healthy but I can't seem to get rid of this irrational fear of being outside here. There are so many studies on links to low birthweight and autism. The links to autism scare me. Each time a bus puffs in my face I will try to hold my breath or otherwise just get really upset!

Help me be rational? I recently spent a lovely day shopping in central London with family, where I know the air quality is worst and i worried like a mad woman when I got home which just ruined the point of such a nice day.
