After more than 100 former Colonia High School students and staff were found to be diagnosed with cancer over a 30-year period, an investigation found no evidence of any cancer-causing hazards on the school property. The results of testing for both radon and radiation in the interior and exterior of the school were announced Thursday. But those results are not sitting well with some members of the community.
Al Lupiano, who raised concerns about a connection between rare cancers and the school, is also pushing back on the “case closed” notion.
“It doesn’t ring well at all. I mean honestly, they haven’t looked at the list of people who have been impacted. They haven’t looked at the doctors’ medical records. They haven’t even spoken to Al or all the research that he’s done. I mean he’s an environmental scientist. He does this for a living,” said Renee Voger, a Colonia High School graduate.
