HygieneTech conducted an investigation of a suspected cancer cluster in one building owned by the U.S. government. HygieneTech interviewed building personnel, reviewed and evaluated personal and medical histories concerning the reportedly affected persons as well as those unaffected persons, and conducted a literature search using available medical journals and computerized databases. Possible hereditary, dietary, and environmental pollution etiologies were explored.

Air, wipe, and drinking water samples were collected and analyzed for specific chemical substances and biological agents. These data were evaluated in light of the available toxicological information. An analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the statistical significance of the study results.
