SUMMARY:How Baby Teeth Stopped Atomic Bomb Tests: The St. Louis Baby Tooth Survey\, 1958-1970
DESCRIPTION:Historian Luke Ritter tells the remarkable story of a group of 
 citizens and scientists in St. Louis who collected over 320\,000 baby teeth 
 to measure the uptake of nuclear fallout in children during the era of 
 above-ground nuclear weapons tests. The possibility of contaminated milk 
 supplies activated thousands of mothers around the St. Louis area.\n\nDr. 
 Luke Ritter is Assistant Professor at St. Louis Community College - Forest 
 Park. He is the author of "Mothers Against the Bomb: The Baby Tooth Survey 
 and the Nuclear Test Ban Movement in St. Louis\, 1954-1969\," which 
 appeared in the Missouri Historical Review in 2018. He recently appeared in 
 a documentary titled Silent Fallout (2025).
