Objective: The effect of low birth weight as a result of dioxin-based exposure has been investigated through the existing literature, but the debate on exact point source and production is still debated. The Monsanto factory located in Nitro, West Virginia produced Agent Orange from 1948 to 1969. Methods: The vital statistics registry from the state of West Virginia of Kanawha county and Putnam county West Virginia. The production of dioxin and 2-4-5T was obtained from the legal files from (Civil Action No. 04-C-465) and the expert witness of Dr. Bruce Bell. In order to understand this relationship a time series analysis was conducted to compare 245T and dioxin and low-birthweight in Kanawha County and Putnam County, West Virginia. Results: The results suggest dioxin within Kanawha county had a suggestive relationship associated with dioxin production and low birthweight from 1948 to 1969 had a suggestive relationship of (p = 0.042). The comparison county of Putnam had no statistically significant relationship between low birthweight and dioxin production (p = 0.203). Agent Orange (2-4-5t) was also considered and measured within the counties of Kanawha and Putnam Counties, within these two counties no statistically significant relationship was observed. Conclusions: In conclusion the association between dioxin and low birthweight still requires more research but this analysis illustrates that there appears to be a suggestive relationship that exists within Kanawha County, West Virginia as related to the production of and effect of the by-product of dioxin.

According to the Maharashtra Economic Survey Report 2018-19, about 36% of the country's sugar factories are in Maharashtra. Every year thousands of women from the asset poor regions migrate to the sugar belt of Maharashtra and Karnataka to cut cane with their husband in the form of Koyata owing to the practice of hiring couples. Migrant cane cutters especially women are most vulnerable and continue to suffer from a number of health and security risks. The vulnerable working conditions and demand of hard labour work affects the health of women. The study will throw a spotlight to reveal a range of health hazards and social vulnerability in migrants’ life. It will aid for a better inclusion of sugarcane cutter women migrants in India. It will help society to rethink about this underprivileged group and insist government and policymakers to recognize this population as a priority group for ensuring rights and entitlements. It will present coping strategies to reduce occupational health hazards and social vulnerability of women migrants.
