KVAL Channel 13, a CBS station in Eugene, OR, has the following story posted on their website:

From 2004 to 2006, air samples were taken from homes in the Trainsong area. The results showed crawl-spaces filled with high amounts of cancer-causing agents from tainted groundwater.

Precautionary measures were taken for those homeowners. Now comes the task of determining if those measures worked.

"I didn't know there was a problem until last year," said Trainsong resident, Glenda Carroll.

Carroll lived in the Trainsong neighborhood with her husband for almost twenty years. She says he died last last January from kidney failure.

"They say kidney failure is one of the things that this causes. I can not tell you how many cats I've had that have died of kidney failure in this house," said Carroll.

Carroll lives in one of ten homes being tested for the presence of the chemicals TCE and PCE.

Officials reportedly believe the contamination came from Union Pacific Railway maintenance that was conducted across the street from the affected area. For the rest of the story, see here.
