Well I can't help you as far as a link goes. but all you would have to
do is go to Pulaski Ave in Elm Park.. I lived there for alot of years
and one thing that I will always remember about that area is the cancer
rate, It was very high.
As of 1980 the houses between david place and Dixon ave all had someone die
from either cancer(LUNG AND BRAIN) OR A HEART ATTACK..Not many died
from heart attacks most were from cancer.. it hit my family very hard.
my father was the last to die 2 years ago from lung cancer, my younger
brother and mother also died from cancer. if you was to go there and
just talk to a few of the old timers there they could tell you where
to get the info you need. we tried in 1980 to pull a class action suit
against the EXXON OIL CO but they have to much power
