Cancer Cluster Near Old Landfill | Newark News
Description
Hundreds of cancer cases in Keyport and Union Beach, New Jersey, have sparked urgent concern—especially as soil tests near the old Aeromarine landfill reveal heavy metal levels up to 200 times state limits. Local residents, including business owner Gigi Liaguno-Dorr battling colon cancer and Sal Liguori, whose son died of cancer and who was recently diagnosed himself, are demanding answers and more screenings. A study suggests nearby residents face a 15% higher cancer risk, but officials stress that proving a direct environmental link requires deeper investigation. As families and communities grapple with fear and uncertainty, the search for truth—and safety—continues.
