Familias de Ladera Ranch exigen investigación de clúster de cáncer

Los residentes de Ladera Ranch, California, están pidiendo a las autoridades que investiguen una posible relación entre el uso de pesticidas y una serie de cánceres infantiles raros, después de que datos estatales mostraran un pequeño número de casos de sarcoma de Ewing, informó Yahoo. Anteriormente, la oficina del fiscal federal solicitó a la Agencia de Protección Ambiental que examinara factores ambientales, y la asociación de propietarios detuvo la aplicación rutinaria de ciertos herbicidas.

En una reunión comunitaria los vecinos expresaron sus preocupaciones, lo que llevó a las agencias locales de salud a revisar la incidencia de cáncer. Abogados recopilaron información de las familias y, desde 2013, se habían identificado al menos seis casos de sarcoma de Ewing, lo que motivó peticiones de investigaciones estatales y federales.
