August 8, 2009 - Public health officials in Florida are investigating a potential brain cancer cluster in a residential community near a Pratt & Whitney facility in West Palm Beach and expect to release early findings later this month.
A vast Pratt-sponsored study of brain cancers among its Connecticut employees, begun in response to concerns about workers at a former plant in North Haven, is now in its eighth year.
The Florida Department of Health began its inquiry in May, after a request from a single household in The Acreage, a community of 50,000 residents in Palm Beach County, according to Michelle Dahnke, a department spokeswoman. The Acreage is about 6 miles from Pratt's space propulsion and jet engine test facility.
