Chromium 6 Cancer and Water Quality By Breanna Young
Research Question • Is there a correlation between Chromium VI levels in the water and Cancer Incidence Rates? • Nevada is not included (no released incidence rates reports of cancer) • Wisconsin not included (trouble with the data)
Norman, Oklahoma (1) • 12.90 parts per billion • Strong correlation • Cleveland, Oklahoma, and Logan counties • Garber- Wellington Aquifer • Childhood Cancers
Tallahassee, Florida (6) • 1.25 parts per billion • There is no correlation. • On the same Aquifer as Miami (29) • Leon County has low cancer rate compared to surrounding areas.
Indianapolis, Indiana (32) • No detectable trace • High Cancer Rates • Little to no Correlation • High level in Plymouth (26.50 parts per billion) • Plymouth has a strong correlation
Texas has Chromium 6-free Water? • Plano (33) • San Antonio (35) • Plano low cancer rate • San Antoino higher cancer rates • 50/50 on correlation
Chromium 6 per Person • Cleveland County averages 30 ppb per person
Result • Not enough data • Should select more cities. • Take a look at locations of high cancer rates • Norman has a very strong correlation • Could be a positive correlation to the research question.
