Moscow, Russia. 1993 - Several clusters of children with missing forearms were discovered in Moscow like the eight shown here. All these hemi-melia births, as scientists call them, occurred between 1985 and 1990 in two neighborhoods. Although no certain links can be drawn between these birth defects and Moscow's bewildering mix of pollutants (dioxin, military plants, trash incinerators etc.), most scientific research points to pollution as a cause. |
