The numbers have risen from around 80 to now more than 90 people with a cancer diagnosis who could be tied to a suspected cancer cluster at Colonia High School in Woodbridge. The Woodbridge town council approved two emergency resolutions earlier this week to begin radiological assessments at the high school, after resident Al Lupiano alerted the mayor that there could be hazardous material on the grounds of Colonia High. The testing will begin this weekend and will continue for two weeks and will cost Woodbridge at least $221,000.
U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6th) held a call earlier this week with several government authorities and asked that state and federal environmental agencies cover the costs of the studies, according to someone on the call.
