THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT CHEMTURA SHIPS THROUGH K-W, ST. JACOBS & ELMIRA

Months have passed since I and a colleague sent pages of chemical names to municipal authorities in Kitchener and Waterloo to enlighten them as to what chemicals are being used by Chemtura in Elmira, Ontario. They are found in Table B.1 of the 2012 Annual Environmental Report for Chemtura Canada, Elmira, Ontario. This report was released by Chemtura's consultants in May 2013. The title of Table B.1 is " Summary of Published Odour Threshold Values For Compounds Used In Chemtura Processes". Today I will begin to release the names of these chemicals "...used in Chemtura Processes" in Elmira.
Most of these can be checked for characteristics including toxicity simply by Googling their names.

The purpose of today's posting is to advise both the public and our authorities who are responsible to us that we the people have the right to know and we expect transparency on what is being shipped through our neighbourhoods whether by truck or train. This is approximately one quarter of Table B.1 .
