Altogether there are at least 15 employees of that one facility who all contracted malignant brain tumors. The firm also represents a former contractor who worked at Spring House and then died of brain cancer. Rohm and Haas acknowledges that the incidence of brain cancer at the Spring House facility is at least twice the rate in the general population. Documents obtained in the litigation show company officials acknowledging the brain cancer rate is even higher.
