A member asked:
Does asthma or lung cancer have a correlation to residence near hazardous waste sites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It might: Depends on the nature of the waste. If it gets into the air or the water table it could have an effect on normal body function and at least encourage disease. We live in an increasingly toxic world to our ever increasing peril.
