| #5 In 1880 people died a lot younger and of diseases that we have since tamed. Particulate matter? Back then nearly everyone cooked and/or heated their homes with coal or wood. There were no 'white' Christmases in cities. Move about any significant distance, you traveled by train. Again, surrounded by coal and wood burning. Now they live longer to discover newer means of dying of conditions that would never had arose if they had the life span of that time. Statistical medical analysis didn't even exist as a practice back then. If there were unusual clusters outside of the observed natural contagions, there was no one to figure it out. |

| #3 Since about 1880 Western populations have been marinating themselves in what could be called a "chemical soup" -- the ever increasing number and amount of manmade materials, usually side effects of industrial processes, dumped into the environment for everyone to ingest, inhale, absorb and mix with the DNA they hand down to the next generation. Add to that the scarcely researched side effects of the many forms electromagnetic radiation, also increasing in variety and intensity over the same time frame. Mysteries like this cited one have been popping up for over a century now and will only get worse given the trend. |

| #1 I have seen clusters of this sort in the past. Cancer in Sparrows Point area and brain cancer about paper mill in Westernport Maryland. Then at that later location hilltops barren. No tress would grow for years.Now tress are growing after plant closure. Curiously oral and lung cancer among people who never smoked or chewed tobacco. Just my casual observations as a layman. Lung cancer especially among women I blame on shower inhalation of aerosol particulates. Then oral cancers from processed water. In areas as far I can tell not from chewing tobacco or smoking. |
