In a social media post, one former student called on alumni and staff to contact him if they’ve been diagnosed with a brain tumor. More than 100 reached out.
A brewing mystery has plagued a New Jersey high school after more than 100 former students and staff say they’ve developed rare brain tumors.
On April 17, environmentalists from engineering firm T+M Associates were testing for radiation on school grounds, ABC7 reported. The testing is planned to take a month. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is also aware of “the community’s concerns” and are taking them “seriously,” spokesperson Elías Rodríguez told McClatchy News in a statement. The agency is communicating with the state departments involved amid their investigation, he said.
“Why is this alarming? In 1999, I too was diagnosed with a very rare brain tumor on my left side. This now makes three of us in one family with primary brain tumors – all on the left side,” he wrote.
