The obvious answer is lifestyle, but my water quality assays show a clear link between arsenic and heavy metal contamination in the groundwater there and elevated cancer rates. The Gangetic belt's geology and intensive agriculture leach these toxins into the water table, creating a slow-moving public health crisis. We see it in the tissue samples.
My ammi still filters our water in Surat twice, a habit from her village near the belt, because she saw the sickness firsthand. Data confirms her fear.
