13 Cluster 16 Toxic Waste Disposal Site Related Clusters [Pg.567]

Toxic waste sites emit a multitude of lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds to the water and air around them. Health effects from toxic waste [Pg.567]

Most cancer cluster studies have focused on identifying single compound causative agents. Most of these clusters, however, result from exposures to mixtures of chemicals. Analysis of the cancer clusters reported in the literature, many of which are described above, reveals that all of the unexplained clusters ensue following exposures to chemical mixtures that contain at least one lipophilic and one hydrophilic chemical. These mixtures act as unique entities to produce specific cancer clusters whose locations are not predicted by the known toxicology of the single compounds that comprise the mixtures. [Pg.568]
