Air pollution and excess morbidity by neighborhood in Haifa:

Morbidity map: "Hot areas" were discovered in the epidemiological survey

Countless articles have been written about the epidemiological survey which was leaked to the media by the research team at the University of Haifa. Professor Portnov was summoned to the Haifa City Council in order to present the serious findings. There was a discussion full of heaps of words, most of the words were meant to sow slurs, but when you distill 7 minutes of the main discussion, a frightening picture emerges of what is happening in Haifa.

Professor Fortnov, head of the team of researchers, stated that there are clear results in that there are "islands" of morbidity and defects in fetuses in several areas and neighborhoods around the petrochemical industry area in Haifa.
Portnov is a statistician and he analyzes the data from a unique professional perspective. Thus, for the first time in Israel, a study was conducted that analyzes the harm to newborns at the neighborhood level and not at the subdistrict level. This is how the harm "islands" in newborns were discovered. This fact, Portnov says, is clear and the team of researchers stands behind it.
