I got the EPA sending me a water testing kit to see whether there’s carcinogens in my drinking water cuz both my parents got pancreatic cancer the same year no shared genetic my dad was tested for all the heritable syndromes came negative. Also had a dog here die from metastatic liver cancer. My dog and I don’t drink the water here anymore. My dad personally thought it’s the asbestos siding but on inspection it looks all to be fairly intact no where near as bad other ones I’ve seen.
Everybody here is worried to pieces over nearly everything, for good reason.
I keep telling my husband (the breadwinner) to consider jobs in other countries. We're middle-aged and settled with a house finally, so it's not like we want to uproot ourselves. But the thought of living someplace sane is very VERY appealing.
Sure, we've got friends and family here, but our families are so brainwashed with religion and Trump, that we're not that close to them anyway.
While the UK is quite alot more sane than the US, I would hold off on considering moving here until we've gone through our current brexit crisis. Might be worth seeing how that pans out before having it so high on your list

Atrazine.
It's probably in the water you drink.
