Former park being tested for links to cancer cluster
An environmental company hired by Whirpool began testing in its former recreational park today for potential cancer-causing contaminants that may be linked to 39 children being diagnosed with cancer in Clyde and Green Springs. The testing, which is being overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is expected to take up to three weeks, Jeff Noel, corporate vice president of communications and public affairs for Whirlpool said. Results of the tests are expected to be ready by early fall, he said. →
