Residents called the Environmental Protection Agency after seeing a frothy

There are high levels of a gasoline derivative in three basements.
Smaller amounts of these gases were found in three more homes and in the
soil, but the water was clean.
E-P-A officials suggest this could be caused by storing a gas-powered
lawnmower in a basement, for example.
But they add the gases would take a long time to sicken anyone.
The E-P-A will be on hand next week to ventilate these homes and test the
