Unborn babies carry pollutants, study finds - Yahoo! News: "The report by the Environmental Working Group is based on tests of 10 samples of umbilical-cord blood taken by the American Red Cross. They found an average of 287 contaminants in the blood, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and the Teflon chemical PFOA.
'These 10 newborn babies ... were born polluted,' said New York Rep. Louise Slaughter, who spoke a news conference about the findings on Thursday."
