Cancer Cluster Probe at Aeromarine Landfill | Newark News

Description

New Jersey’s DEP is launching a major investigation into a suspected cancer cluster in Keyport and Union Beach, spurred by residents’ alarm over 400+ cases they link to the old Aeromarine Landfill. Testing will sample soil, gas, and groundwater at 13 sites in Keyport and 3 in Union Beach to detect contamination risks. After residents rejected initial state tests, an independent team uncovered alarming pollutants — including PCBs, dioxins, and PFAS — prompting officials to now dig deeper to determine if a real environmental threat exists.
