Baby Teeth Study


October 01, 2025

STAR is also conducting tests to measure trace levels of radioactivity in baby teeth collected from children living near Brookhaven. These will be compared to control samples from Brooklyn and Queens to measure possible toxic contamination from Brookhaven, which could be linked to apparent clusters of rare childhood cancer in communities located near the lab, as well as inordinately high levels of breast and prostate cancer. STAR Issued an appeal to area parents to provide baby teeth for this study.
