Does this map not include cancer risks near military facilities? I have a hard time believing the cancer risk in San Diego, CA is so low when there are military air bases all over the county, which use known cancer-causing agents as fire retardants.

How often are those agents deployed, and when they are deployed, how far does the wind take them, if at all?
