Ms. Hansa Vyas,
According to Maternity Act,the women employee has a right to ask for a light work which is not harmful or strenuous for the mother as well as for a child.
Working in a toxic environment could be harmful and strenuous for both mother and child.
Please note it will be difficult to draw a conclusion that the abnormality of child is due to working in the toxic environment.It requires lot proof/evidences etc.
Therefore i feel, it is advisable to request the management to give you less strenuous work.
