Toxic Legacy

Epidemiology is a science of probabilities and estimates, maybes and maybe nots. Ann Aschengrau has spent 25 years researching toxins in Cape Cod’s drinking water, making the SPH professor one of the world’s leading environmental epidemiologists, while building a body of knowledge about a neurotoxin called PCE, and its complex interplay with drug and alcohol abuse.
