"Nevada Town's Residents Unperturbed About Arsenic in Its Drinking Water" --- "Fallon [Nevada], population 8,300, calls itself 'the Oasis of the Desert.' But it's also the arsenic capital of America. A study of EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] data from 25 states by the Natural Resources Defense Council in 2000 found that Fallon's water system delivered more arsenic to its customers than any other large system, defined as one serving at least 3,300 people." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) The author notes that although Fallon residents drink from an arsenic-laced water supply, it is accepted as a fact of life and few are heard complaining. "Fallon's Cancer Kids" --- "This article profiles the search for an answer to why the number of young leukemia-stricken children is growing in the town of Fallon, Nevada. "The cancer cluster has put Fallon under a microscope...Most speculation about the cause centers on the region's arsenic-laden water, which has the highest level of the dangerous chemical of any water supply in the nation. But many residents lean toward blaming other things for the outbreak." (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE)
