Leukemia mortality rates along the Ohio River compared with the rest of Ohio.
A sample of 18 Ohio municipalities indicates statistically significant difference in leukemia mortality rates between communities on the Ohio River and communities not located along the river. Rates are higher along the Ohio River in comparison to the state rate. Ohio River community rates are also generally higher than those in communities located away from the river. Some possible reasons are proposed.
