That's a good question
There are the "downwinders" who claim to have higher incidences of cancer and have been trying to sue the government for the past 50 years. There was the pathologist I sat next to on the plane when I moved here who told me he was comparing pathology samples from here to the rest of the country (and they are different) and there was an article in the paper last year with the title "Water in the 300 area mostly safe" (I work in the 300 area). I never read the article, just liked the title.
It is mostly safe here, no worse than riding your bike in traffic. Much safer than smoking. It's all relative. And it's really a nice, family-friendly place to live. Clean up efforts are in full-swing, now if we can only convince those selfish New Mexican's to take our wast it would all be good (I grew up in NM, the WHIP program was very controversial. Now I've heard the other side - and everybody is wrong on both sides).
