women-in-science-field-more-apt-to-have-birth-defectsIn a very brief article notated by the Telegraph, based out of the UK, it states that women who are employed in positions such as cleaning women or, even broader, scientific research, have the heightened risk of birthing children who suffer defects.

The article published no known findings that support why this instance is occurring, but states that 9,000 women were surveyed, all of whom had children with birth abnormalities.  The research was very explicit in stating that the results were not examined as to why the results turned out the way that they did.

Hm, let’s all pretend that we’re scientists and hypothesize for a moment.

Could it be that women in the “cleaning” field and women completing scientific research are sometimes exposed to dangerous elements?  Could it be that a lot of these elements could not only be carcinogens, but also chemicals such as those found in the TGRI waste receptacle?

Come on, science.  Let’s be a little forthcoming and make some concrete determinations on our analysis.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that exposure to otherwise-dangerous elements can affect such delicate systems as the reproductive system.

Think Agent Orange.  My dad was sprayed with it in Vietnam.

I guess that explains me.

    I agree. I have close friends who have siblings, children and friends who have severe birth defects that just don’t happen in other areas. It’s kind of sickening that the feds, various lawyers, etc, refuse to acknowledge this.

    Many of us are exposed to chemicals that are unsafe… On a daily basis.

    If you visit http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/, you can type in practically any product you are using and find out how safe it is. And let me tell you, most of the crap people use every day, from cleanser to lotions to makeup, are chockfull of dangerous materials. Even “natural” brands like Aveeno.
