Orange County pauses pesticides as rare cancer fears rise in Ladera Ranch
In Orange County's Ladera Ranch, a cluster of rare cancers among children has prompted Capistrano Unified School District to pause routine landscaping chemicals for 60 days while officials review the products used on campuses, following a community meeting and growing concerns about environmental health. While officials say no environmental cause has been identified, residents advocate further testing and safety reviews, and federal officials have been urged to investigate potential environmental factors.
