BY EARLY NEXT YEAR, A LONG AWAITED STUDY IS EXPECTED TO BE RELEASED ON THE CANCER RISKS OF NEW MEXICANS LIVING NEAR THE SITE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST ATOMIC BOMB TEST IN 1945. RESIDENTS IN THE AREA SAY THE TRINITY TEST CAUSED GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES TO SUFFER FROM RARE FORMS OF CANCER AND ECONOMIC HARDSHIP.
MICHAEL LEVIN WITH THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE TELLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THAT RESEARCHERS ARE NOW EXAMINING DATA ON RADIATION EXPOSURE AND DIET…AND THAT THE STUDY SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN EARLY 2019.
