WTC Air Pollution Study Exposed

Air pollution from the World Trade Center collapse caused some pregnant women to give birth to smaller babies, researchers claim.

What’s really going on is that environmental activists are preparing more attacks on President Bush’s proposal for reducing air pollution.

Led by notorious eco-activist researcher Philip Landrigan (search), researchers from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine reported in the Aug. 6 Journal of the American Medical Association (search) that babies born to pregnant women exposed to air pollution from the WTC were twice as likely to be small for their gestational age than babies born to women who were pregnant during the attacks but not near the WTC site.
