Thousands of baby teeth, almost all collected from St. Louis-area residents in the 1950s and 1960s, will finally be used in a comprehensive study aimed at learning whether fallout from atomic bomb tests increased the cancer risk for Americans born in those Cold War years.
The nonprofit Radiation and Public Health Project in New York announced last week that a $15,000 donation from the Oregon Community Foundation of Portland, Ore., would allow the yearlong study to begin. The rest of the nearly $37,000 project cost is being covered by other private contributors, project officials said.
