A new chemical toxin in the work environment, compound A, is of key interest as it relates to increasing the risk of serious birth defect and a specific form of rare cancer in adults. Three percent of children not exposed to compound A (the baseline risk) is affected by a serious birth defect. Conversely, the baseline risk for this particular type of cancer is 10 per 10,000, or 0.1%. Studies have shown that exposure to compound A elevates the risk of birth defects and cancer to 9 per 100 and 3 per 1,000, respectively. Based on the information provided, which health outcome (birth defects or cancer) has a stronger association with compound A? By removing compound A from the work environment, on which outcome will we make the biggest public health impact? Pay attention to the numbers and justify your answer.
