New Orleans is not an isolated case chemicals including sane which are suspected of being carcinogenic as the result of animal tests hive veen detected in several drinking water supplies taken from surface sources across the Robeck said Among the chemicals in the EPA's new list Dr Elizabeth Weisburger an expert at the National Cancer Institute recognized only a few as having known cancer causing potential in some animal species Among these are carbon tetrachloride which has produced liver cancers in mice and sane strains of rats chloroform which has produced cancers in mice at high dosage and the pesticides Dieldrin and Endrin bah of which are suspected of having cancer causing properties Some of the other chemicals in the list are known to be highly toxic although not demonstrably
