Descriptive - observational study, which analyzes the relationship between environmental pollution and congenital malformations in newborns at the General Teaching Hospital Riobamba - Ecuador in a population of 253 infants, chosen by inclusion and exclusion criteria.

In conclusion, the positive relationship between the presence of congenital malformations due to environmental contamination can be affirmed. The recommendations that emerge from this research work would be associated with the priority attention of this problem correctly; establishing prevention strategies in order to avoid and reduce risks through the timely detection of places that could have special environmental characteristics in affected areas, promoting early intervention before treating pregnancies and ruling out fetal abnormalities
