Dangerous Arsenic Threat for South Minneapolis, MN Residents

Neighborhoods in South Minneapolis, Minnesota will soon be added to the federal Superfund list, thanks in part to the arsenic contamination affecting the area.

The EPA has pledged to spend $6.7 million on testing the area and cleaning it up, but local residents do not consider this effort sufficient. There are still major concerns for the contaminated areas not drawing very much attention, including backyards that contain shrubs, lawns and trees. Residents worry about the health risks involved with growing vegetables and children playing outside.

Although parts of the area have been cleaned up in the past, there is still a significant amount of contamination remaining. Additionally, blowing wind helps spread the pollution to neighboring areas.

If you believe your health may have been affected, or that you may have property damage due to arsenic poisoning, it is important to have dedicated arsenic lawyers on your side.

If you feel you deserve compensation, our short form below will start the process. The law firm of Weitz and Luxenberg has experience defending victims of environmental pollutants and is dedicated to helping.
