Discusses the quest to identify the contribution of environmental factors to the development of cancer and highlights ways to reduce the cancer risks in one's surroundings. Looks at common carcinogens in the air, soil, and water, including plastics, cleansers, and automobile exhaust. Presents the cases of a breast cancer patient from Cape Cod, which some researchers have designated a cancer cluster area, and a retired oil-refinery worker suffering from leukemia after prolonged exposure to benzene. Includes an interview with activist Erin Brockovich.
