Possible cancer link studied in Monticello
State officials say Monticello residents had higher-than-normal rates of lung and bronchial cancer.
Epidemiologist John Contreras says it's "plausible" that there's a connection between cancer and dust and contaminated soils from the defunct mill.
The state is discussing the findings with Monticello residents this week, including an update on a more comprehensive study of health issues and uranium operations in the area. Contreras says he expects that study will be done by the end of the year.
