U.S. study shows no link to pollution.(breast cancer)(Brief Article)
2002 SEP 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A study on possible links between pollution and the high rates of breast cancer on Long Island failed to show a connection.
Results of the 7-year, $8 million, study by the National Cancer Institute, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention is a disappointment to many activists who had hoped that lives could be saved by the research.
The study had looked at four toxic chemicals that were once widely used on Long Island
More than 1000 women took part in the study, which is the centerpiece of the $30 million Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project mandated by Congress in 1993.
Some criticized the study as too narrow, arguing that other factors besides the four polluting chemicals - mostly now-banned pesticides - should be closely investigated.
