Hi,

Why the sentence below has to have the phrase 'such  study' and not 'such a study' when it seems the study has been mentioned before by the fact there is the word 'such' in the sentence?

... not only for the many negative effects which such study (why not, such a study??) brings ...

Study is an uncountable noun here.
