Abstract:
Basrah can be considered as a city that has been suffering form pollution more than any other city in the world of today. This is due to the successive wars it has undergone, the waste of the petroleum, gas, and petrochemical factories leave behind as well as the electric power generating firms this city contains. Furthermore, the location of Basrah by the sea has made the city liable to have epidemics, diseases, and birth defect. The phenomenon of distorted births is but the focus of this thesis.The researcher draws the attention of those undertaking direct or indirect responsibility so as to arrive at appropriate basic solutions. This study is an attempt at pinpointing the factors that directly or indirectly lead to the distorted births in Iraq in general, and in the city of Basrah in particular. Statistics is in order. The hypothesis of this study is that radiation may be the most serious cause of birth distortion. To verify this very hypothesis, the city of Basrah is chosen as the population and The Basrah Hospital for Maternity and children as the sample that covers the files or reports of the new - born babies during the period January - April, 2007. This sample is called " sample A". This is on the one hand. On the other hand, a special form is developed by the researcher and it is this form that forms "Sample B".Since the data collected is of a binary or dichotomous type, it is concerned with whether there is some birth distortion or not. That is why the dependable variable is referred to by 1 or 0 respectively. This type of variable is often indicated to by responding with ither "Yes", if there birth distortion; or "No" hen there is no birth distortion in medicine research. Statistically speaking, the SPSS ready - made program has been applied to data. This program has been used in social sciences and medicine research with high accuracy. The present research worker has applied a logistic model or pattern so as to study the factors that influence the occurrence of birth distortion. Among the results arrived at by the researcher is the residence of the parents Thisresult confirms the hypothesis that states that the regions exposed to the uranium radiation plays an important role in spreading birth distortion. Relatives have also proved to be influential and this is what is referred to as the hereditary or genetics variable. Finally, Rh factor is very effective in this respect. For this reason, the researcher supports all the calls for the authorities of both the public and private sectors at regional national and international levels urging them to do all they can to save the society catastrophic errors
