A study has found little scientific evidence that hazardous waste sites have caused serious health problems for people living nearby, a group of scientists said. But the researchers, who said they found inadequate or non-existent data on many of the nation’s worst toxic waste sites, warned that their industry-sponsored study should not be interpreted as concluding that there are no risks. The report by Universities Associated for Research and Education in Pathology Inc. was released in Washington.
