WHY CANCER RATES ARE HIGHEST NEAR NEW YORK METROPOLITAN REACTORS

By
Jay M. Gould, Director
The Radiation and Public Health Project

An examination of cancer and infant mortality rates in Long Island, Westchester,
and nearby Connecticut-located near the Brookhaven, Millstone, Haddam Neck,
and Indian Point nuclear reactors-indicates abnormally high values that decrease
with increased distance from these plants. The data are consistent with many recent
findings that internal exposure to fission products such as strontium 90 and iodine
131, routinely released into the air and drinking water from these plants, are
producing far greater environmental and human health damage than had been
expected on the basis of short external exposures to medical X-rays of gamma
radiation from the detonation of atomic bombs. A program is outlined for the study
of internal radiation doses and clinical tests of immune system function to test the
hypothesis that chronic exposures to fission products in the diet is a major factor
in the high rates of breast cancer, low birthweight and other health problems in
the New York Metropolitan area.
