The chief culprit is believed to be a now-shuttered rubber making plant that sits about a mile south of the elementary school - where concentrations of toxic compounds including lead have been found. The research team have analyzed more than two dozen sites around the area for heavy metals and radioactive material. :o :( Title: Re: High cancer rates in Fruithurst, AL Post by: ricky023 on October 14, 2022, 09:44:31 AM Yes sir I live in Fruithurst and was one of the families they investigated but they don't know if my cancer came from Vietnam or the water here so they only gave us a filtering system for our house. The lawyers had to drop us cause of my military service. We have 3 kids who have died and it is heart wrenching. RTR!
