In Ashland Massachusetts a seven year study finds residents who swam or waded near the Nyanza dye plant site have a two to threefold higher cancer risk. Researchers interviewed 1387 people aged 10 to 18 from 1965 to 1985 and identified 73 cancers and eight cancer deaths, with many cases before age 35.
