Several people in my age group have been diagnosed with cancer , whom also grew up in this area . Government research , proves there is a direct link between Benzene and Cancer . This is an issue the Government and the Railroad company should have advised the general public about at the time of the derailment of the L &N railroad derailment , but failed to do so . It would certainly have been sound advice , to have warned the general population in this area against the continued use of the natural water supply , instead of waiting nearly twenty years and getting many complaints about the foul smell from the well water . One has to wonder , did they think of the people of the community or just blatantly omit the fact this chemical could be harmful to those whom live/lived in this area . Who served as a voice for this communities health concerns after the fact of the derailment ?

Yes there'd have been some air contamination but brief and lessen the amount going into groundwater.
