Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation (2013) is a non-fiction book by American author Dan Fagin.[1] It is about the dumping of industrial pollution by chemical companies in Toms River, New Jersey beginning in 1952 through the 1980s,[2] and the epidemiological investigations of a cancer cluster that subsequently emerged there. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014 for General Nonfiction.[3] Abigail Zuger, writing in the New York Times, said it was "surely a new classic of science reporting".[1]
