===Cancer cluster=== {{main|Clyde cancer cluster}} In 2006, the [[Ohio Department of Health]] recognized that the incidence of child cancer cases in the Clyde area was abnormally high, and in 2007, the [[Ohio Environmental Protection Agency]] started investigating possible causes.<ref>{{cite web | title = News 11 Special Report: Cancer Cluster | publisher = [[WTOL]] | last = Walsh | first = Jonathan | date = 6 November 2008 | url = http://www.fox19.com/story/9306054/news-11-special-report-cancer-cluster | access-date = 2015-12-30 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151227014407/http://www.fox19.com/story/9306054/news-11-special-report-cancer-cluster | archive-date = 27 December 2015 | url-status = dead }}</ref> After the [[Ohio Environmental Protection Agency]] carried out soil tests in the [[Whirlpool Corporation]]'s former corporate park, Whirlpool Park, in Green Springs, Ohio, it was apparent that soil on the property contained [[polychlorinated biphenyl]]s. Whirlpool Corporation faced two lawsuits as the park is perhaps the most well known suspected{{by whom|date=December 2017}} cause of the cluster. This lawsuit was dismissed in 2014, and the other, ''Sandusky County v. Whirlpool Corporation'', was withdrawn in 2015. In January 2016, the EPA reported that Whirlpool Park had been cleared of PCB contamination.<ref name="USEPA">{{cite web|title=Eastern Sandusky County Assessment Project|url=https://www3.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/easternsandusky/|website=www3.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/easternsandusky/|publisher=EPA|access-date=22 March 2016}}</ref>
