TALLEVAST --
One month after concerned community leaders asked for a cancer study, state and local health officials visited Tallevast on Monday to start preliminary plans.
The state's quick response gives Tallevast hope their concerns will be heard, said Laura Ward, president of FOCUS, an advocacy group for residents.
Tallevast residents believe the high numbers of cancers and neurological disorders in their community are linked to contamination traced back to a former beryllium plant. Now known to cover more than 200 acres, the toxic waste includes industrial chemicals known to cause cancer and other illnesses.
