  • Birth defects near hazardous waste landfill getting attention Wednesday, February 3, 2010

    Fresno Bee:  Cyndee Fontana has a story about residents of Kettelman City, California, who are finally getting attention from federal officials for a rash of birth defects among children born just a few miles from a huge hazardous waste landfill.  “Academic, political and other experts say the issue finally reached a boiling point — influenced by a lawsuit over landfill expansion, in-your-face activism by residents and environmental groups and a crescendo of publicity about the town’s complaints.”  Kettelman City was one of the areas where water supplies were contaminated by chromium 6, the case made famous in the movie “Erin Brockovich.“
