ST. LOUIS (AP) - Baby teeth collected in St. Louis in the 1950s and ’60s to measure children’s exposure to atomic bomb fallout will be used in a new study to try and gauge if Cold War bomb testing increased cancer risk.
The new study became possible after an estimated 85,000 baby teeth were discovered in storage in 2001. They were leftover contributions to the St. Louis Baby Tooth Survey, and about 300 of them will be tested as part of the new research.
