The Acreage Cancer Cluster Meeting: Part One

Part 1: A packed auditorium at Seminole Ridge Community High School in Loxahatchee, Florida hears a presentation from 2 attorneys and an epidemiologist from Weitz and Luxemberg (of Erin Brockovich fame) on the 50,000 person community called "The Acreage" and its high cancer rate. Neighboring airplane engine-maker Pratt & Whitney was identified as a possible target in a toxic tort lawsuit.

Thank you for reminding us these sites are out there. More has to be done by the government to investigate their effects on the people living on and near them.Babs
