Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 http://healthyamericans.org/ This is an interesting site. It might take you awhile to click into every category. I am surprised how polluted my state is. Also there is a disease cluster map of the U.S. pointing out different problems in those areas. Be patient to find links among links on this site. I got a little lost myself. On the disease cluster map there was an area in my state that indicated that there was a high level of lead exposure resulting from a battery factory that leaked out its chemicals in the environment. How nice. But this is very nice to know that someone is looking into our lives. There is also an air quality report for your state. I am shocked where the really bad air is located. Liz D.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I found this very interesting that my state, TN, didn't have data for the cancer rate for men and women, esp considering it's been reported the highest cancer rate in America is Loudon Co, TN, which happens to be downstream from the Oak Ridge National Lab. This is where the Manhattan Project (atomic bombs) used in WW2 were developed, and where the creek was called " silver creek " because livestock used to turn silver after getting in the stream from all the mercury dumped there.
