City air brings higher cancer risk Indianapolis Star Friday, 24 February 2006 03:45:26 EST
Overall risks were higher in urban areas, but people at greatest risk live in low-income, heavily industrialized areas in Marion and Lake counties, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Air Toxics Assessment showed.
The study -- the most ambitious attempt yet to look at cancer risks from breathing chemicals -- outlines lifetime cancer risks in states, counties and census tracts. It is based on 133 chemicals emitted in 1999 by businesses and traffic.
