What to Know About the Threat of PCB In Syracuse
October 13, 2006
Onondaga Lake in Northwest Syracuse, NY, has been a
dumping ground for pollutants for nearly a century. In the first half of the
century, it was deemed unsafe for swimming, and by the 1970's, fishing was no
longer permitted there.
Honeywell Inc., the company currently operating
in the area, has pledged $451 million for the clean up.
Among the
contaminants discovered in the lake, according to a 2002 investigation, were
mercury, benzene, toluene, PCBs and polychlorinated dioxins.
The bulk of
the pollution was caused by the former chemical company, Allied-Signal.
