Abstrakt:	Population-based mortality data suggests remediation is modestly effective in two Montana Superfund counties. As a group of citizens, scientists and public health officials, members of the Butte Superfund Health Study & Biomonitoring Working Group are committed to furthering the health and well-being of Butte citizens. In this letter, we focus on Butte and begin by summarizing findings of two Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (MDPHHS) studies of cancer mortality and incidence in Butte Silver Bow County that do not find elevated cancer incidence over a 35-year period. A series of human health risk assessments for the residential areas in Butte have documented that lead is the primary metal of concern in Butte soils. [Extracted from the article]
