Babies Born Near WTC Site Feel Effects Of Terror Attacks
March 12, 2006
A Columbia University study shows that pregnant women and their newborns were affected by toxins released into the air on and after September 11th.
Columbia's Center for Children's Environmental Health is following 300 non-smoking women who lived within two miles of the twin towers and were pregnant when the attacks happened.
The study says babies born to these women were smaller and had lower birth weights than babies born farther away.
An investigator told the New York Post that the DNA in at least half the babies in the study had significant levels of toxins that could increase their risk of cancer.
The study began in December 2001, and it is still ongoing.
