There has been ongoing research at various universities about cancer and the environment. One study was being done at Stony Brook University in New York several years ago.
I grew up in near Stony Brook University in New York and most of my first cousins who grew up in the same area also had various kinds of cancer, so this topic is interesting to me. Most of my first cousins who did not grow up in the same area did not get cancer.
When we think of the environment we have to think about more than just what is in the air around us. There are several other environmental factors that can be considered.
