A Massachusetts high school is under investigation after several teachers were diagnosed with breast cancer.
The state Department of Public Health will visit Uxbridge High School on Thursday to conduct a series of air quality tests.
According to the school, several female teachers have been diagnosed with breast cancer or precancerous conditions over the past few years.
Medical experts say that one in every eight women are diagnosed with the cancer.
250- thousand women nationwide are diagnosed as well.
The 123-thousand-square-foot school has an enrollment of roughly 600 students.
Uxbridge High School was built in 2012 at a cost of 45-million dollars, including a 22-million-dollar state reimbursement.
