St. Louis Baby Tooth – Later Life Health Study
Welcome to the St. Louis Baby Tooth – Later Life Health Study Homepage! Launched in the 1950s, the Baby Tooth Survey aimed to assess whether children were being exposed to radiation from nuclear fallout. By analyzing baby teeth, primarily from St. Louis, researchers revealed how radioactive isotopes, like Strontium-90, were absorbed. These findings influenced public health policy and were cited by President John F. Kennedy in the signing of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. Today, at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the Weisskopf Lab, we continue this important work, studying how early-life environmental exposures affect aging, disease risk, and overall health decades later. Join us as we explore the lasting health impacts of environmental hazards.
