 9/11 Environmental Action "The environmental
issues of the disaster require open sharing of complex data
and interpretations, and a comprehensive clean up. Instead
we've gotten a cover up -- as the insurance and construction
industries seek to minimize their liabilities."

Monsanto Hid Decades Of Pollution: PCBs Drenched
Alabama Town, But No One Was Ever Told — Washington
Post, January 1, 2002 — On the west side of Anniston, the
poor side of Anniston, the people ate dirt. They called it "Alabama
clay" and cooked it for extra flavor. They also grew berries
in their gardens, raised hogs in their back yards, caught bass
in the murky streams where their children swam and played and
were baptized. They didn't know their dirt and yards and bass
and kids -- along with the acrid air they breathed -- were all
contaminated with chemicals. They didn't know they lived in
one of the most polluted patches of America. 
Construction
Workers Get Sick Building Toxic Elementary School —
A toxic elementary school in Southwest Detroit has made construction
workers sick and outraged parents whose children are scheduled
to attend the school in the fall of 2001. The new elementary
school is in a low-income, predominately African-American and
Hispanic neighborhood with a large number of Spanish-speaking
immigrants. The land where it is being built is contaminated
with arsenic, PCBs, and other cancer causing chemicals. Environmental
racism is the issue as the school district, which was taken
over by the state of Michigan in 1998, rushes to prove itself
to city residents. Viewing the residents of the Beard neighborhood
as politically and economically marginal constructing a school
on toxic land seemed possible. — South-East Michigan Coalition
on Occupational Safety and Health, August 2001
