BP in oil field where ‘cancer is rife’

 Jessicah Finglass

“Communities living close to oil fields, where gas is openly burned, are at elevated risk of leukaemia, a BBC News Arabic investigation has revealed.”

“Urine samples we collected from 52 children indicated that 70% had elevated levels of 2-Naphthol, a form of the possibly cancer-causing substance naphthalene.

Children in these areas are being tested for seriously harmful chemicals that are causing cancer in children and premature death.
