Panel Urges U.S. Government To Study Possible Cancer Links
On Thursday, the President's Cancer Panel released a report urging the federal government to do more to protect U.S. residents from thousands of toxic chemicals and gases and high levels of radiation in the environment, which can increase residents' risk of cancer and other severe ailments. PCP noted that very little is known about the toxins' impact on human health and that it "was particularly concerned to find that the true burden of environmentally induced cancer has been grossly underestimated."
