The number of newborns with birth defects in many parts of China is rising rapidly as women have children later in life and environmental pollution takes its toll, while in Beijing, the rate of physical abnormalities -- such as congenital heart defects or cleft lips -- was 170 per 10,000 births in 2008, nearly twice the rate recorded in 1997.
