The 85-mile stretch of the Mississippi River that connects New Orleans and Baton Rouge , Louisiana , has been known as Cancer Alley .
Residents in Cancer Alley have a 95% greater chance of developing cancer than the average American .
Ethylene oxide levels in the heart of Cancer Alley are more than double the threshold above which the EPA considers cancer risk to be unacceptable.
Sharon Lavigne , the founder of Rise St. James , says monitoring data will do little to help her family and neighbors.
Lavigne: "These monitors are good, but in the meantime, people are dying" Lavigne says the study is a "step in the right direction".
