Thousands to be evacuated from 'Cancer Village' in Turkey

The village in called Tuxkoy. 48% of all deaths in this village, and two others nearby, are from meseothelioma, a rare form of Cancer. Several hundred have died of the disease since the 80's. It's believed to be caused by natural deposits of erionite in the area.

Skynews - Families moved away from Cancer village


According to the article, 200 families have been moved away from the area by the Turkish government, with thousands more to be moved as soon as accomodation is built for them. Apparently the government there is contemplating demolishing the entire village and burying it under earth. Why would you need to bury the remains of a village if the illness is caused by minerals in the rocks around the area? Interesting story.

Rock weathers and the soil in the area will be full of the same material.
This soil blowing in the air is the source of the mesothelioma not the solid rock. People. animals and cars all spread this dust
Even concrete made from the soil is still a danger.

You need to demolish and bury (capping)the building to keep people from moving back in and to stop the dust from the building materials from blowing or washing away and spreading the problem.
They will likely bring in dirt from another area to cover all the areas that the toxic dust blows from and use plant cover to control the rest.

More than likely its a
nuke dump (Classified of course)that was forgotten long ago.
and the tptb ,well they're people too,
They just Forgot to tell anyone right ?
Nothing to see here folks,move along.

Do Turkey even have nukes or nuclear facilities?

Edit : They're currently designing their first Nuclear power plant.

I just find it strange that people there would get sick but it doesn't happen anywhere else? Surely the mineral isn't that rare that it's unique to that area. So why isn't there more cases like this?
