The NBCS is being conducted in response to community questions and concerns about whether exposure to uranium mining and milling waste is affecting the outcome of pregnancies or the development of children on Navajo Nation. The project is a collaboration among the University of New Mexico’s DiNEH Project, CDC/ATSDR, Navajo Area Indian Health Service, and the Navajo Nation Division of Health.
