handling of metals and cancer

Posted by Nina on May 14, 2003 at 14:02:41:

My sister worked in a metalergy lab. (sorry, I don't know how to spell that). She worked for a steel casting place and handled different kinds of metals. She put them in a computer and tested them for the different kinds of metals in them for steel castings. Recently, I have read that this or something of its kind, causes cancer. Any truth to this? She died in her early 40's of cancer. Just wondered....

Hi, Nina.

If she were still alive she could be tested for the body burden of those metals. These companies have been burying their victims for so many years I think they believe it will go on forever.
