## Resource

A former landfill in Keyport may be linked to a shocking spike in cancer cases, according to independent expert Scott Smith, who found toxic metals like lead and arsenic seeping into homes via floodwaters from Hurricane Sandy. His soil tests revealed higher toxin levels inside basements than outdoors, fueling fears that the unlined, improperly sealed Aeromarine site is contaminating residents’ living spaces. With hundreds of cancer diagnoses reported and state officials previously dismissing contamination pathways, Smith’s findings are sparking urgent calls for transparency and action — including potential EPA Superfund cleanup — as community members gather to demand answers and solutions.
