• Cal State Fullerton researchers testing Ladera Ranch soil for contaminants (ocregister.com) — Researchers are testing soil and water in Ladera Ranch parks to see whether contaminants might be linked to a cluster of rare childhood cancers, a concern for nearby Laguna Niguel families who spend time there. While they stress the work can't prove causation, the Cal State Fullerton team hopes their findings will support a broader state investigation and help local communities make better health decisions.
