Getting cancer from refineries!!!!

My mothers side of the family lived next to a refinery almost all her/their life until she became an adult but now we've moved close to a refinery and almost all my mother's side of the family has had some sort of cancer. And my mother thinks is cause of the refineries.
What do you think? Pollution causing cancer?

I think it's highly possible...of course, I'm the one Rachel is talking about. My Mom developed breast and an unrelated kidney cancer..my younger brother had a brain tumor with malignant cells...my older brother developed prostate caner at age 50. I'm, the only one so far that hasn't developed some form of cancer. It really scares me. I remember growing up that we would go out in the morning only to find our cars covered in some form of acid rain...and there were many times we were warned not to eat the food growing in our gardens. They would always put out some horrible smelling stuff at night..it would give my Mom some horrible headaches.
Any thoughts about this?

Do you know what they were refining? Depending on the substance, it could be harmless or extremely dangerous.

I'm not sure what they are refining...even though I should, I've lived in this area all my life...I'll look into it and get back to you..
