"Communities all around the country struggle with unexplained epidemics of cancers, birth defects and neurological diseases," report co-author Gina Solomon, a senior scientist at the Naural Resources Defense Council, said in announcing the findings. "The faster we can identify such clusters, and the sooner we can figure out the causes, the better we can protect residents living in the affected communities."

I am still trying to understand the disease i have. Sarcoidosis

There are three occupational clusters with it.

1 Firefighter/EMTs

2 People working in the medical field.

3 And US navy personal and Navy veterans.

And medical researchers still can not find a cause.

There are some that believe the medical researcher have found a cause but because it would cost hospitals and government a lot of money in benefits like Workman's comp and veterans service connected benefits that they do not want to come out with a cause.

By the way i have worked in all three fields, firefighter, medical field/EMT, and I am a US Navy veteran

Yes it is an idiopathic disease and you see noncaseating granulomas on pathology. Idiopathic means there is no known cause.
