"Toxic America" CNN Length: 6:25 File: Flash Video File |
Researchers and results from the Columbia and Mount Sinai Children's Centers were featured in CNN's "Toxic America series" in a segment about toxic chemicals being present in the womb and how that may affect development of the fetus and young child. The story features a study from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) which since 1998 has measured levels of potentially harmful chemicals in the environment of hundreds of pregnant women and found these same chemicals in the cord blood that supplies the fetus and could affect children's development.
