A health study initiated by Alcoa Inc. has found no link between industrial waste buried in an Indiana coal mine and cancer cases suffered by miners who were exposed to the toxins. Alcoa, the world's largest aluminum producer, sought the study in response to concerns expressed by miners. One of the miners who sued over alleged harmful effects of the dumping says he still believes the number of miners and family members who have contracted cancer and other diseases is too high to be coincidental.
