The Pollution in Newborns
A benchmark investigation of industrial chemicals, pollutants and
pesticides in umbilical cord blood
Environmental Working Group, July 14, 2005
In a study spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in
collaboration with Commonweal, researchers at two major
laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and
pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August
and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals. Tests revealed a total of
287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these 10
children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored
pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning
coal, gasoline, and garbage.
