FOI 2023 33 - Cancer Incidences

 

Information Requested:

A chemical company called Kernick and Son dealt with chemicals like Napthalenes/Agricultural Chemicals/General Chemicals/Mineral Acids etc.
I am trying to find out if you collate data on persons who have been diagnosed with cancer in that area during this time period as it was a primarily residential neighborhood with this company in the middle that were producing/storing chemicals. If so can I obtain a breakdown of what type of cancers have been diagnosed and in what proximity to the company they were.
