JANUARY 4, 2019 - K-W RECORD PUBLISHES CLEANUP STORY ON STROH FARM IMMEDIATELY BESIDE UNIROYAL/LANXESS CANADA

 

The reporter was Jeff Outhit and he did a good job in letting the public know that the cleanup was neither extensive nor comprehensive. He quoted Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach who referred to Lanxess's story about wind blown dioxins and or rain washed dioxins ending up on the Stroh farm as being "self-serving". While Sebastian is correct, the rain washing dioxins and more onto the Stroh farm does actually validate the fact that gravity flowing toxic liquid wastes travelled eastwards onto the Stroh farm. This also reinforces yesterday's Blog post and many others in which Uniroyal toxic wastes ended up on the Stroh property. The title of this January 4, 2019 story is "Cleanup launched after Elmira chemical factory taints farm next door". 

What has long surprised me is that neither Health Canada nor any provincial or federal food agencies have ever seemed the least bit interested in these highly toxic various chemicals entering our food supply. Above and beyond cattle producing both milk and beef on the farm, the immediate contaminated property has produced both corn and soybeans for decades.  Whether these are for direct human consumption or for indirect consumption via cattle feed, these are serious health issues. When non-smokers and non-drinkers not exposed to toxins on the job get cancers then it becomes obvious that their exposures are from the air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they eat. 

Thank you Uniroyal, Lanxess, MECP and local politicians for your inattention.
