Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and residential proximity to toxic industrial waste in southern Israel.

Environmental exposure has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Toxic volatile compounds were found in groundwater downstream of an industrial site in southern Israel. The risk of NHL and clinical characteristics of NHL patients were analyzed in relation to their proximity to the site.
