However, your case seems to be worthy at least an email or phone call into the person listed in the document as their Community Involvement Coordinator-- Cheryl Allen (allen.cheryl@epa.gov) 312-353-6196 or 800-621-8431, ext. 36196 Even if she can do nothing directly from her position, she might be able to refer you the proper federal or state agency that you can address your concerns to.

Mpls. My mom died @ 65 in 2001 of lung cancer. My sister died @ 47 in 2006 of primary brain cancer. My grandmother struggled for years of an unexplained neurological disorder including seizures and the inability to hear although her ears were fine. I suffered from unexplained seizures, convulsions, comas when I was a baby and small child. My brother cannot give or receive blood because of an antibody in it the doctor says is from a manmade chemical. I have read that arsenic can cause all of the above. I would like to know how we can be tested for arsenic and prevent further health problems and deaths caused by it. Do you know of any info for the families affected?
