SeaTac Health Study 1998 through March 2000 Does living near an airport increase your risk for certain types of cancer and respiratory disease ? "Addressing Community Health Concerns around SeaTac Airport" Find the Feb. 1999, Dec. 1999 and March 2000 reports on the Seattle- King County Dept of Public Health web site. http://www.metrokc.gov/health/. Also identified as SeaTac cancer cluster report sometimes. The March 2000 report is still not posted at that site as of April 27, 2000 but it can be found at: http://www.doh.wa.gov/EHSPHL/Epidemiology/NICE/publications/Sea Tac_Report3.pdf Below is a copy of Attachment 10 to the March 2000 report which is third and final report in the series of SeaTac Health reports published by the Washington Dept of Public Health. It provides additional comments by the Community representatives to put the three reports in perspective. Bottom line: Cancer, including rare brain cancer, is higher than expected for those living within three miles of the airport in the area most directly impacted by airport operations. High respiratory illness seems to be a concern for a much larger area. |
