In a California Town, Birth Defects, Deaths and Questions
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: February 6, 2010
Summary:State and federal officials are scrambling to determine what caused the deaths of three children in this Central California farming town, which shares a ZIP code with the largest hazardous waste treatment site west of the Mississippi. Over a 15-month period in 2007 and 2008, six children of mothers from Kettleman City were born with serious birth defects, including cleft palates, deformities and brain damage. Half of those infants subsequently died.
Response: I think this seems like a very serious problem. This seems very dangerous and something is seriously wrong. They need to figure this out and fix it before it hurts any more babies or people get hurt.
