[CPEO-BIF] Under Wisconsin: Vapor Intrusion Issues in Madison

[mallacci at optonline.net]

Thank you Lenny, nice work.
We continue to read about inadequate remediation and monitoring of contaminated communities and continued exposures of residents, while working very hard to develop state of the art treatments for the cancer epidemics in this society.  
 
It would be great to see comparative case studies of cancer incidence where environmental exposures have been managed differently.  Are you familiar with any?
 
Thanks.
MaryAnn
