Uranium Found In Breast Milk: Bihar’s Groundwater Crisis Puts Newborns At Risk |News9

A shocking new scientific study has detected uranium in the breast milk of nursing mothers across six districts of Bihar revealing how deeply groundwater contamination has entered daily life. Every mother tested showed uranium traces, with levels high enough to put nearly 70% of exclusively breastfed infants at risk of serious non-cancer health impacts.

From kidney damage to impaired brain development, experts warn that long-term exposure could threaten an entire generation even as doctors insist breastfeeding must continue.

This investigation raises urgent questions: How did uranium seep into Bihar’s groundwater? Why did a small study uncover what government monitoring failed to detect? And what immediate steps must be taken to protect infants and ensure safe drinking water?

This is no longer an environmental issue, it is a public health emergency demanding immediate action.
