New York - Babies Born Within Two Miles Of WTC Site, Feel Effects Of Terror Attacks
New York - 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. 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 is still ongoing.
