Cancer in children due to industrial plants.........

Children's whose mothers live near industrial plants that emit toxic chemicals and those who live near such plants shortly after birth are at increased risks of certain cancers.  The study found that while a woman was pregnant and lived or worked around industrial plants that produced fiberglass, varnish, rubber products, electroplating, and spray paint, that the baby had a significantly increased risk of developing leukemia and other cancers and later in life was associated with a smaller increased risk.  The study suggest that absorption by the mother and subsequent transmission to the child through either the placenta or breast milk may play a role in the increased risk.
