We use population-level data on all Florida children born between 1994 and 2002 to examine the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to environmental toxicants from a Superfund (toxic waste) site. We compare siblings who faced different toxic exposures during gestation because of Superfund site cleanup (or, in other specifications, because of a family move). Children exposed to toxic waste while gestating have substantially worse cognitive and behavioral outcomes than do their unaffected siblings. These results are much larger than what would have been predicted were the effects of Superfund site exposure operating solely through standard measures of birth outcomes.

超级基金网站的发展后果

我们使用1994年至2002年之间出生的佛罗里达州所有儿童的人口水平数据，来检验产前暴露于Superfund（有毒废物）场所的环境有毒物质的长期影响。我们比较了由于Superfund网站清理（或其他原因，由于家庭搬迁）而在妊娠期间面临不同毒性暴露的兄弟姐妹。与未患病的兄弟姐妹相比，妊娠期接触有毒废物的儿童的认知和行为结果明显较差。这些结果比仅通过标准的出生结局衡量超级基金站点暴露所产生的影响要大得多。
