- NJDEP reveals its test results. But it doesn’t explain why there are nearly 500 reported cancer cases at the Bayshore.
Cancer-causing chemicals were found in Keyport neighborhoods but a mystery source remains. Investigators found cancer-causing chemicals, PFAS, and other contaminants in parts of Keyport and Union Beach, including areas near homes. But New Jersey environmental officials say they found no evidence that pollutants traveled from the Aeromarine landfill into surrounding neighborhoods. The findings are raising new questions and independent scientists say additional testing may be needed before residents get the answers they're looking for.

After his coach left for another job, Parker's journey took him through multiple transfer stops, including Camden High, Gloucester Catholic and Deptford, before ultimately arriving at Washington Township. Then came another challenge: eligibility issues, missing credits and a mandatory four-game sit-out under NJSIAA transfer rules.
Now, after months of uncertainty, Parker is finally set to make his long-awaited debut.

But for years after the attacks, archaeologists worked diligently to uncover human remains and other artifacts that the initial cleanup effort left behind. New Jersey-based archaeologist Scott Warnasch led the team that ultimately discovered more than 2,000 remains throughout lower Manhattan during the NYC Medical Examiner’s office’s recovery operation that started in 2006. The historic effort proved that in mass-fatality disasters, archaeology isn't just important–it can be crucial.
