Researchers attempt to find
cause of border birth defects
The Associated Press
HARLINGEN - No one of
fered proof Tuesday that pollu
tion has caused high birth-defect
rates in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, but several researchers
agreed on a need to increase en
vironmental monitoring.
"We need to look in the com
munity at potential associations
between neural tube defects and
environmental contaminants,"
Dr. Lowell Sever said at the In
ternational Conference on Neur
al Tube Defects.
"There are some suspects, but
there is not clear evidence that sug
gests that occupational or environ
mental chemicals cause these kinds
of birth defects," said Sever, a staff
scientist at the Battelle Seattle Re
search Center.
The main neural tube defects
are anencephaly and spina bifi
da, both of which remain baf
fling to researchers.
Doctors have detected abnor
mal rates of the rare defects on
both sides of the border in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley,
prompting fears that industrial
pollution or pesticides were at
least partly to blame.
Sever said a few studies have
suggested that parental exposures
to chemical solvents or pesticides
may be associated with higher inci
dence of neural tube defects.
But he said the studies, because
of extremely small samples and
other limitations, fell far short of
proving a link.
"There's really no smoking gun
for neural tube defects," Sever said.
Many conference participants
said that folic acid supplements
significantly reduce a woman's risk
of giving birth to a baby with a
neural tube defect. The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration is con
sidering a proposal to fortify staple
foods with folic acid, a B vitamin
found in fresh vegetables, citrus
fruits and many multivitamin pills.
Scientists and government offi
cials agreed that the Brownsville-
Matamoros environment needed
more regular monitoring for air
and water pollution.
Dr. Elaine Francis of the U.S.
En vir o n m e n ta 1 Protection
Agency said earlier studies by
the Texas Department of Health
and the Centers for Disease Con
trol showed that little was
known about environmental ex
posures in the region.

&
On April 17, 1993 between 3:45 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. the Bryan Po
lice Department was the victim of two arsons. Two Chevrolet
Caprice patrol cars were set on fire, one in North Bryan and one in
South Bryan. Both cars were set on fire by an unknown substance
being thrown onto the cars. Bryan Police report that one car was a
total loss and the other sustained damage to the right rear.
A witness reports seeing a dark colored, newer model Chevrolet
pick up in the area of North Bryan approximately ten minutes be
fore. The police do not know if the pick up was involved. Police
have no suspects or other witnesses for this crime.
This week the Bryan Police Department and Brazos County
Crime Stoppers need your help to identify the person(s) responsible
for this arson. If you have any information call Crime Stoppers at
yyS-TII’S. When you call you will be given a special coded number
to protect your identity.
