A new German study is showing more baby boys being born due to radiation exposure:

Adverse developmental outcomes have also been associated with early exposures to environmental physical factors. Pre- and periconceptional parental occupational exposures to low-level ionizing radiation have been repeatedly associated with increased risk of fetal loss and neural tube defects Neural tube defects

A group of birth defects that affect the backbone and sometimes the spinal chord.

Mentioned in: Birth Defects (NTDs) (Doyle et al. 2000; Inskip 1999; Sever et al. 1988).

Gender Ratio

This study fits into the larger picture of the male:female newborn ratio decline in a number of industrialized countries during the past decades, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Canada, and the United States (Davis et al. 1998).

The reason for this reduction is not clear, but it has been suggested that chronic exposures to toxic environmental agents that predominantly affect males and the male reproductive system could lead to a lower male:female ratio, as seen, for example, after the exposures to dioxins in Seveso, Italy (Mocarelli et al. 2000), PCBs and dibenzofurans in Taiwan (Rogan et al. 1999), in Israel (Potashnik et al. 1984), medical radiation (Hama et al. 2001), and methyl mercury in Minamata Bay (Sakamoto et al. 2001).

The normal ratio of male/female births are about 1080/1000.

Where radiation is a factor, the ratio will drop to ~850/1000.

X chromosome damage is less likely to be fatal to females who have two (2) X chromosomes (XX). Males (XY) and atypical females with a single X chromosome tend to die, en utero.

I have seen this misrepresentaion made before; so it appears to be deliberate.

The Fukushima 5000 study
Chris Busby PhD
Green Audit

Results will give a population of about 5000 people of all ages. The questionnaire will be coded to the householder or responder who will leave an identification number and details of how they can be contacted for a second questionnaire in 3 years and 5 years time. Thus a baseline health sample will be defined against which future health effects can be gauged. The sample questionnaire is attached as an appendix.

From the history of the responses to Chernobyl and other instances of public exposure it may be concluded that there will be an institutional cover up of serious health effects. This has already begun. It is therefore recommended that an independent health monitoring programme is carried out through simple questionnaire epidemiology which has been piloted in other areas.
