US Can't Back Cancer Assurances to Marines
In an about-face, the government has disavowed a 12-year-old federal report that found little or no cancer risk for adults who lived at Camp Lejeune, N.C., where drinking water was contaminated for three decades. Up to a million people could have been exposed to toxins that seeped from a neighboring dry cleaner and industrial activity at Lejeune, federal officials say. Now, a report that minimized the cancer threat for adults has been discredited. |
