The latest research, which will be published next week, confirms earlierestimates revealed by the Guardian of a major, unexplained rise in cancers and chronic neural-tube, cardiac and skeletal defects in newborns. The authors found that malformations are close to 11 times higher than normal rates, and rose to unprecedented levels in the first half of this year – a period that had not been surveyed in earlier reports.
The findings, which will be published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, come prior to a much-anticipated World Health Organisation study of Falluja's genetic health. They follow two alarming earlier studies, one of which found a distortion in the sex ratio of newborns since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 – a 15% drop in births of boys."We suspect that the population is chronically exposed to an environmental agent," said one of the report's authors, environmental toxicologist Mozhgan Savabieasfahani. "We don't know what that environmental factor is, but we are doing more tests to find out."
There is more to this.
ReplyDeleteSome thing was dispersed onto Fallujah that they do not want known.
IMO Fallujah was used as a test tube for one of the Wests weapons of mass destruction.
The world was sold on the premise that Iraq had WMD.
When in reality is was the West that brought WMD to Iraq. Just as there was no A/Q in Iraq, until we got there.
Yes it rings true. I notice you picked up the Guardian story too. We can rely on them to keep on it.
