A medical mystery apparently links more than 100 people diagnosed with rare cancers to a New Jersey high school.
An environmental scientist, Lupiano determined the common link between the three was that all attended the same high school. He reached out to others on Facebook to see if there were other cases.Town officials were notified.
Woodbridge Mayor John McCormack and the town council ordered tests be conducted at the school, which was constructed in 1967. "If there is something there, the sooner you know, the better because you can react quick and take any steps you have to take right away," McCormack said." On April 9, canisters to take air samples were placed in the building. Canisters were also put on the grounds outside of the school to check for any excessive levels of radiation."It hits me. It's my generation," McCormack says. "I mean, I graduated in 1976."Advertisement
"Finding something isn't the end of the road. Finding something is now the beginning," Lupiano said. "And if we don't find something we still have to continue to look to make sure there's not a hazzard present and, if there is, we have to remove it."
