No excess risk of adverse birth outcomes in populations living near special waste landfill sites in Scotland (Publications)
A recent study showed small excess risks of low birth weight, very low birth weight and certain congenital anomalies in populations living near landfill sites in Great Britain. The objective of the cu
Cancer risks in populations living near landfill sites in Great Britain (Publications)
Previous studies have raised concerns about possible excess risks of bladder, brain and hepatobiliary cancers and leukaemias near landfill sites. Several cancers have been implicated, but no consisten
