Read the published report.
White Phosphorous is never mentioned.
It's a study of 56 Fallujah families a very small sample I find varied estimates of Fallujah's population to be 190K to 300K people -- with an infant mortality rate 34.59/1000 live births http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...mortality_rate as a comparison 4 to 7/ 1000 in most developed countries.This compares to an infant mortality rate 48.91 for Iraq in 1980-1985

"two well-known neurotoxic metals, Pb and Hg." How much solder with lead is used in the plumbing in the Fallujah area? How much lead based paint? No shit Sherlock!

The is no control group of parents with normally born children in Fallujah for comparison.
Only Iran, Palestine, and Italy are used for comparison -- Why is that and what relevance is it -- absolutely none. Who funded the research?

Now, why would Iranian Shiites want to help the Sunnis of Fallujah make the accusations against the Americans stick?

"my enemies enemy is my friend"

This should never have been given any credibility by the media.

Seems they learned this at the George Bush school of bullshit to me.
