मुख्य बातें

  • A new study has found that babies born in southeast Louisiana's most industrially polluted areas were far more likely to have severe congenital heart defects.
  • Researchers compared 454 infants with heart defects born between 2018 and 2021 with 1,362 infants without them, using pollution data for the areas where their mothers lived.
  • Babies from the most polluted areas had 4.29 times the odds of a severe heart defect compared with babies from low-pollution areas, and babies from intermediate-pollution areas had 3.09 times the odds.

The study, published in the journal Environmental Health, is the first to examine this link in Louisiana, and it pointed to benzene and formaldehyde among the chemicals with the highest levels.
