KFDM, February 7, 2022
UTMB researchers published a study in 2020 that examined potential impact of living near refineries using a population-based analysis. Dr. Stephen Williams, professor and chief of the Division of Urology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, is one of the authors. “There is an association we found with proximity to an oil refinery and increased types of all cancer and particularly bladder cancer, which is quite provocative,” told the Beaumont TV news crew Monday.
