In November 2012, the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology in Heidelberg published a study that revealed that the number of congenital deformities in Basra had increased sevenfold between 1994 and 2003. Twenty-three out of every thousand live births exhibited abnormalities. The rate of neural tube defects (open back) in babies born in Basra, the study claimed, is unprecedented, and continues to rise, while cases of hydrocephalus (water on the brain) among newly borns are six times as high as in the United States. en.qantara.de/content/depleted-uranium-munitions-in-iraq-deadly-dust-falls-in-silence?qt-nodes_popularity=1
