A study of how more than 100 people who attended or worked in New Jersey high school developed a rare brain cancer found no evidence of radiation at the school.

The investigation began after dozens of former high school students and staff were diagnosed with brain cancer over 30 years. This study investigated whether this area contained radioactive contaminants that could contribute to the diagnosis of brain cancer and other tumors and disorders of the central nervous system.

A former student at Woodbridge Colony High School in New Jersey began looking into the union after noticing that he, his wife and sister all had brain tumors. Student Al Rupiano found that 107 former students and professors also had brain tumors.

After their findings were published, Woodbridge Mayor John McCormack took action, hiring an environmental engineering firm to investigate contaminants that could lead to brain cancer.

The results of the environmental evaluation were known on Thursday.

“We are pleased to report that extensive radio and radiation testing inside and outside the school building provided no evidence of cancer risk that warranted further investigation,” McCormack said.

“This is great news for current Colonial High School students and parents who are concerned about the safety of their current staff. Also, for all the graduates who attended and staff who worked at Colonial High School, which opened its doors in 1968. That’s great news,” he added.

The study concluded that radiation conditions in the school building matched typical radiation levels in the state.

The State Department also reviewed high school brain cancer rates and compared them to brain cancer rates in New Jersey and other United States. They found that the prices were totally consistent.

The exact number of people diagnosed with glioblastoma is unknown, but the form of the cancer is very rare. According to the American Association of Neurosurgeons, glioblastoma affects only 3.21 per 100,000 people.
