Human Health Studies can reveal a lot about the ultimate results of placing waste depots near people and properties. For example, the Castlereagh Human Health Study (Williams & Jalaludin, 1993) investigated the increased disease incidence arising through toxic waste leakage from the Castlereagh Waste Management Centre in Londonderry, Sydney. This is a waste deposit area that took in over 2 million tonnes of liquid waste over a period of decades.
Note in this regard in the areas affected by depot leachate (leaking toxic waste residues): "the Human Health Study found that the "rate of brain cancer in males [is] more than three times the NSW average", with "the breast cancer rate between 1979 and 1983... two-and-a-half times the State average, with eight cases identified, while three cases of uterine cancer between 1984 and 1988... [were] more than five times the average" (Kerr, 1995:1-3)" (Thompson, 1998:9).
Strangely, the study's politically comfortable 'inconclusive' outcome was followed by an "alert status [that was] adopted in relation to [the] health outcomes..." (Williams & Jalaludin, 1993:v).
