Poisoned legacy

“DO YOU have a radiation meter?” asks Emilkhan Osekeeva, a family doctor, as she walks up a dirt lane called Engels Street. “The woman here died of stomach cancer,” she says, nodding at a mud-brick home on the right. “Her youngest son died of leukaemia before his 30th birthday. On the left, the mother also died of stomach cancer. Up there the woman died of uterine cancer.”
