Hazardous Waste – Birth Defects Developments
A small Californian town has reported a rise in birth defects – allegedly caused by the amount of hazardous waste dumped there.
Defects appearing in children like heart problems and cleft palates have been linked to the dangerously high amounts of arsenic found in the drinking water in Kettleman City, California and the amount of pesticides used on surrounding farms. There is also a massive toxic waste site a mile away from the town.
Council authorities are investigating these cases.
