I checked with friends here at the U of Hawaii involved in a long term (around a decade) large scale study (thousands of families living in Hawaii) and across many ethnicities. While miscarriage rates varied fairly widely across ethnicities, the average miscarriage rate is said to be around 33% across all ethnicites. I do not know how many of the people in their study used VDTs on a regular basis. Of course, these numbers come from only people living in Hawaii.
