LANXESS DEMONSTRATES BOTH THE LOYALTY AND STUPIDITY OF THEIR PARTNERS IN POLLUTION

Lanxess, GHD, TAG, RAC, MOE/MECP, GRCA, Woolwich Council all hide behind "Qualified Persons" (credentialed experts). Why wouldn't they? The last five groups all have taxpayers money to buy their own "Qualified Persons" literally at will. The first two either employ their own or buy them whenever. There are however many "citizen scientists" as well as very knowledgeable citizens highly experienced in environmental matters but without formal credentials. That said the following e-mail was sent to me by a formally credentialed "Qualified Person". I have already distributed it to CPAC members as well as other highly qualified citizens who do not require letters after their names in order to understand English. ............................................................ ......................................................... ...................................... "Alan. I expect a smokescreen is in place in an attempt to discredit any investigation by any group not sanctioned by the current process with RAC and TAG. .................................................................................................................................... I would look to any data as perhaps a good qualitative data assessment which could be a catalyst for a more quantitative assessment. In simple terms even if the samples and data suggest that a concern exists I refer to this as bucket chemistry in that although the data and methods may not be entirely follow every known best method protocol, nonetheless the data if contamination is detected should form a basis for more thorough investigations. The parties that are bent on following protocols could ensure such protocols are followed such that the data under such a rigid sampling, chain of custody, lab protocols, etc., would be 100 percent defensible if required. ............................................................................................................................. Pehaps another way to express this point. When one does PID sampling on contaminated sites containing semi and volatile organic compounds, the PID results are never the basis for soil, water or air contamination, simply an indicator that more quantitative work needs to be done. For example hypothetically when PID sampling would have been done for the excavations down at GP 1 and GP 2 , the PID data would be a very useful tool for on site data including worker protection from vapours. Of course due to confidentiality I cannot speak to specific data or the correlation of test results to soil results, but I can say that any data considered collected with the purpose of a qualitative assessment only is still in fact very useful. ............................................................................................... Take care Alan." ...................................................................................... ...................................... Seven parties either flatly refused to accept professional lab reports from Pacific Rim Labs or simply failed to respond (RMOW, GHD). Lanxess however answered YES to the question asked of them without any bullsh.t references to some items automatically included in professional lab reports plus others. It is possible that Lanxess recognized the value of independent soil samples taken and paid for by citizens while the other seven parties simply wished to show their solidarity with their bed partner, Lanxess Canada. I admit that I've enjoyed this exercise as it has for me and other like minded citizens pointed out the pervasive bias and corruption in all the peripheral parties. While knowing for years/decades that the MOE/MECP and the majority of local councillors are less than honest, it took longer to identify RAC, TAG and the GRCA as fellow travellors (i.e. the more polite term for corrupt). TAG especially has been a painful realization because under Dr. Richard Jackson they started so strong. Downhill afterwards although I know that there are a number of individual members working on behalf of the public interest. They are however caught in a totally controlled by council, impotent committee unless they decide to go "radical" as Dr. Jackson did. By "radical" I simply mean bluntly telling off Lanxess and the MOE/MECP to their faces when they are spouting scientific drivel and or self-serving nonsense. ................................................................................................................................. P.S.....PID above in the quoted portion stands for PhotoIonization Detector which measures volatile gases............... P.S.S. Thank you Lanxess for demonstrating both the loyalty and stupidity of your many partners in pollution
