Keyport advocate, diagnosed with cancer, fighting for answers on feared cancer cluster

No official answers on the testing at a key port landfill, believed to be linked to a possible cancer cluster. And now one of the community leaders has a new reason to fight. News 12 Tom Krasnowski speaks with him. Key Port resident Sal Legori thought he had a hernia but feared the worst when he asked his doctor for extra tests. I live in key port and there's a possible of a cancer cluster going on. Is there any type of screening I can get done even if I pay for it in my pocket? I don't care what the fee is. Legori was diagnosed with early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia. His doctors say it's treatable but incurable. Legori lives next to the Aero Marine headquarters, where an improperly capped landfill has been leeching into the soil for decades. He invited News 12 in May when he tested the air in his home. He says those results showed benzene, a carcinogen. The benzene gases is facts. It's linked to leukemia. Most of these cancer cases are leukemia. That's not a The D. E. P. The borough and a prospective buyer for the site all tested groundwater and surface water in June. D. E. P. S. Results are expected at the end of july. You can get me results in a week if you really want to do this. They don't want this. The D. E. P. Installed these signs near the landfill in late june. This one is on Legori's property. He says despite the test results pending, he still sees folks and their pets on the beach and in the water. What do dogs do? I see people, I used to see bugs all the time up and down here, down there, wherever these dogs have died of facial mouth cancer. Legori is working on bringing a mobile cancer screening center to town. Now that I've been diagnosed, I am now more motivated than ever to help everybody around me and save somebody else's life. If not many in Keyport tom Krasnowski News 12 New Jersey. All right, thank you tom. The D. E. P.
