Childhood Leukemia and Population Mixing: The Evidence Mounts
Despite numerous attempts to blame anything and everything associated with a deep pocket for a cluster of childhood leukemia cases in Fallon, NM, the strongest evidence by far supports the hypothesis that an infection, spread by the sudden mixing of two or more populations, was responsible. Now there's evidence that childhood leukemias previously blamed on nearby nuclear reactors are in fact strongly associated with population mixing. See "Childhood Leukaemia, Nuclear Sites, and Population Mixing".
That introducing lots of new workers to a formerly rural environment to build a military base or nuclear power plant often is accompanied by an increase in childhood leukemia cases is now confirmed by more than a dozen studies. That often unnoticed infections cause cancer is also well established. So, what duty, if any, is owed to the local children and to the children of its own employees when a business sets up say a slaughterhouse in rural North Carolina and staffs it with workers from a long way away? And if there is a duty, how is it to be fulfilled? To warn? Of what? To monitor? For what? To protect? With what?
