This 2007 report by the The Indian Doctors For Peace And Development (IDPD) (http://www.idpd.org/) documents the health effects on Indigenous people in India living in close proximity to a uranium mining operation. The study was carried out by a team of medical doctors using 34 trained fact-gatherers. Data was gathered from all the 2,118 households in five villages close to the mines, and was compared with data from all 1,904 households in villages 30-35 km away from the mines.
The statistically significant results show increases in congenital deformities, sterility, cancers, and shortened life span among those living close to the mines.
