FREMONT (AP) -- Ohio health officials say a study looking at whether radiation is the source of child cancer cases in northern Ohio didn't turn up any answers.

The study looked at homes, schools and industrial sites in Clyde and Sandusky County where 35 children have been diagnosed with cancer in recent years.

Ohio Department of Health spokesman Robert Jennings tells the News-Messenger in Fremont that investigators looked at six areas including the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant.

State officials also tested air samples at the homes of 11 families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer.

Wendy Brown is the mother an 11-year-old girl who died from cancer last year. She told The Blade in Toledo that families of the children are frustrated with the lack of answers.
