"NC State Alumni Link Contaminants in Shut-Down Campus Building to 150+ Cancer Cases"

More than 150 cancer cases have been reported among NC State alumni who attended classes at Poe Hall, a campus building shut down due to concerning levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Alumni have reported various cancer diagnoses, including thyroid cancer and synovial sarcoma, with suspicions of a link to the building's PCB contamination. The university is investigating the situation and has created a webpage to provide updates on its analysis of testing results. Legal action is being considered against the company that made the materials containing PCBs used in the building's construction, and concerns about potential exposure to "forever chemicals" persist among alumni.
