Higher cancer rates linked to WWII radioactive waste in Midwestern creek
Fox News
A new Harvard study confirms Missouri's Coldwater Creek, which was contaminated with nuclear waste from WWII's Manhattan Project, has increased cancer risk for nearby residents.
"The waste from these entities could have huge impacts on people’s health, even at lower levels of exposure." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
Researchers have now confirmed that exposure to the creek, which is said to be polluted with nuclear waste from the development of the first atomic bomb, has led to an increased incidence of cancer for people who were children in the area between the 1940s and 1960s.
