The state of Ohio has just launched a new website designed to keep residents updated on an on-going investigation into an Ohio town's strange cluster of childhood cancer cases. At least 18 children in Clyde, Ohio have been diagnosed in recent years.

The website was launched on Wednesday, said Ohio Environmental Protection Agency spokesperson Dina Pierce. It aims to provide easy access to the latest information from the EPA and Ohio Department of Health into the investigation in the Sandusky County town.

The site currently includes background material on the investigation, as well as contact information for officials conducting the probe. Results of air and water monitoring will be posted after the tests begin later this month.

To date, studies of the area have not reached a conclusion on why there are so many cases of childhood cancer in the area.
