I am 57 years old and know of 6 people my age raised in Kessler Park who now have brain tumors. These folks were raised a few blocks apart, and lived just across I 30 from the old Murph's/RSR lead smelter - as well as other industrial complexes having to do with cement, roofing materials, etc. on Industrial Blvd.
(It is likely there are other numerous cases of cancer I don't know about... especially since so many children and teens raised in KP live elsewhere now. )
So, we should be aware that with extremely high lead and arsenic levels at RSR, a cancer cluster is possible.
Official records say that air in a 13 mle radius was affected by the lead smelter; but no definitive record of water/well involvement is easy or possible to attain. Thirteen miles extends from I 30 to Davis St -if not a lot farther south-according to an online map.
Please leave a comment if you have any info to add. THANKS
PS I have found reliable info that cancer causing chemicals were found in the soil at RSR.
