"The yards of all 50 homes tested near the Black Leaf industrial site in Louisville have been found to have elevated levels of toxic pollutants, including some known or suspected cancer agents, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency revealed Monday. For nine of the homes, or nearly 20 percent, the concentrations were high enough to normally prompt a cleanup, said Art Smith, the on-scene coordinator for the EPA."
