Haifa University doubles down on the results of a study that attributed a high concentration of child sickness rates in the city to massive pollution in the Haifa Bay.

“We stand behind the study,” the university says in a statement. “The methods used by the study were approved in advance by the professional committee among whose members are representatives of the health and environmental protection ministries.”
