Unusually High Number of Children Born and Living in Clyde, Ohio Affected by Cancer. Our Environmental Cancer Lawyers Can Help Sandusky County Residents

For a number of years, the 6,000+ men, women and children who call Clyde, Ohio home have dealt with the tragic problem of children in the Sandusky County city who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Since 2001, over 20 Clyde area children have been diagnosed with a number of types of cancer.

During this time, families in the area have looked into a number of possible sources, including possible sites where environmental pollution may have affected the groundwater.

In January 2009, the Ohio Department of Health (DOH) undertook a study of water in the area. They tested drinking water samples from public water systems, the City of Clyde, the Northern Ohio Rural Water (NORW) and domestic water wells.

The results of that testing, which were released to the public in May 2009, revealed that while levels of some organic minerals (including strontium, which is found in northwestern Ohio bedrock) were at higher levels than those the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determines safe. However, none of the substances was seen to be linked to the increase in pediatric cancer cases. The Ohio EPA and the Ohio Department of Agriculture were to conduct additional water sampling during May and June of 2009.

If a child in your family or a loved one’s family from Clyde, Ohio has been affected by the possible cancer cluster problem, our environmental cancer lawyers may be able to help.
