[quote=Anonymous]The concern is cancer due to near-constant exposure to pollutants coming off of 495 and 270. It's literally unacceptable that builders put homeowners in this situation. It's not ok and I urge people to do their research before committing to this for their families. Healthy grocery stores and the gym will NOT outweigh what you're breathing daily. I'm referring to leukemia, lung cancer, etc. I'm a healthcare provider so it's my job to be mindful of external factors that increase risk and this one is significant enough to look elsewhere. Do your research. I've attached just a couple of articles but there are MANY more. A pretty home in "Bethesda" will never outweigh these risks for us and I would tell every one of my patients to make the same decision. The literal audacity of toll brothers to sell these at this price and call them luxury is beyond pathetic. Don't fall for this. We can do better as a community to care for ourselves and our kids. end rant. "A 2000 Denver study showed that children living within 250 yards or 228.6 meters of a highway with 20,000 vehicles per day are 6X more likely to develop all types of cancer and 8X more likely to get leukemia." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4772211/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26520639/ [/quote]
