*Over 400 people die each year from cancer that is related to Chicago%26#039;s O%26#039;Hare airport alone. (INVESTIGATION OF THE CANCER INCIDENCE RATES IN THE VICINITY OF O鈥橦ARE AIRPORT)

Reply:O鈥橦are is a major reason that we have some of the highest cancers and other airport-poisoning disease rates in America. Studies show O鈥橦are is responsible for the deaths of at least hundreds of people each year from cancer alone.
