Smokes and drinks
may be bad mix
United Press International
CLEVELAND — Cigarette
smokers who become chronic
drinkers may increase their
chances of developing throat
and nose cancer, said a Case
Western Reserve University re
searcher.
C. David McCoy, an assistant
professor of epidemiology at
CWRU’s School of Medicine,
said Friday his findings indicate
a strong correlation between
heavy consumption of alcoholic
beverages in smokers and an in
crease in cancers in the trachea
and nasal cavities.
Data as early as the 1950s in
dicates people who had head
and neck cancers tended to be
heavy tobacco and alcohol users,
he said.
“Since that time, studies, in
cluding our own, indicate there
is a slight increase of cancer of
the larynx in smokers who are
non-drinkers,” McCoy said.
“However, the same rate of
smoking in conjunction with
alcohol consumption dramatic
ally enhances the risk.
“The same trend is found
with oral-cavity and esophageal
cancers.”
He emphasized the increase is
not as dramatic in smokers who
consume one or two drinks per
day.
In the Case study, hamsters
were given injections of cancer-*
causing substances found in
tobacco and tobacco smoke. The
hamsters that also received etha^
nol showed a dramatic increase
in both tracheal and nasal-cavity
tumors.
“From our studies in hams
ters, the increase due to alcohol
consumption is in the range of
40 to 70 percent,” he said.

Missourians offered
dioxin poisoning tests

United Press International
TIMES BEACH, Mo.— The
|tate of Missouri plans to offer
ee testing for people com
plaining of skin rashes, the first
|ign of dioxin poisoning.
I “We’ve had a lot of interest
Jxom people who call up and say,
‘1 have this rash’ or I once had
tins rash,”’ said Dave Forney of
.the Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta.
I “This is based upon the fact
that about the only symptom
when first exposed to dioxin is
fprloracne (a severe skin rash),”
|:he said.
I The free testing will be con-
Bucted in Kirkwood, Mo., in
^February.
I The CDC recommended in
JPecember that Times Beach-
lo. be evacuated after soil test
ing showed high levels of dioxin
lontamination.
I Most of the 2,40,0 residents of
■imes Beach have stayed away
*;since the recommendation was
jnade, and a three-member de
legation went to Washington
®his week to seek a federal buy-
Sout pf homes and businesses.
The delegation included the
ngF Odd: j,Rev. Larry Rice, head of the
Jew Life Evangelistic Center, a
private relief agency in down-
Kown St. Louis; Times Beach
(Alderwoman Susan Johnson
i.i/w liand former Mayor Gary
SPverton.
They met with Lee M. Tho-
“I
don’t want to overprom-
ise,” said Thomas, who heads
President Reagan’s task force
formed to look into the flooding
and dioxin contamination at
Times Beach.
Thomas said money from a
hazardous waste “superfund”
eventually might be used to pay
for a temporary or permament
relocation of Times Beach resi
dents. But he said a “lot of steps”
had to be overcome before that
could happen.
The fund is a pool of money
financed by a tax on chemical
stocks. The $16 billion fund is to
be used for cleanup of hazar
dous waste sites.
