High dioxin
level found
in streets
United Press International
NEWARK, New Jersey — Re
sidents of Newark’s Ironbound
area said Thursday that dioxin
contamination increased
around a defunct Agent Orange
plant after the state began
vacuuming neighborhood
streets.
The Ironbound Health
Rights Advisory Commission
said it reached that conclusion
upon analyzing a report re
leased by the state Department
of Environmental Protection. A
lawsuit was filed this summer for
access to state records.
The commission charged at a
news conference that the actions
taken by the state to protect resi
dents have been inadequate and
the cleanup efforts have failed.
The study by a private con
tractor, NUS Corp., showed 15
of 19 sectors sampled before the
cleanup contained dioxin, while
17 of 19 sectors sampled after
ward showed contamination,
said Robert Cartwright, com
mission chairman.
Cartwright said the spread of
dioxin could be explained by last
month’s discovery of a new diox
in hot spot at the Brady Iron and
Metal Corp., where levels up to
3,300 parts per billion were de
tected. One ppb is considered
dangerous.
The scrap metal company is
believed to have salvaged reac
tor vessels from the former Di
amond Alaki Co., a one-time
producer of the Vietnam War
defoliant Agent Orange. Traffic
in and out of the Brady site, as
well as wind and rain, could
account for the recontamination
of the area, he said.
Since large-scale dioxin con
tamination was first discovered
at the Diamond site in June, the
firm’s successor, Diamond
Shamrock of Dallas, has paid for
fencing and tarpaulins to secure
the site.
Michael Gordon, an attorney
for the group, charged the state
is not moving fast enough or
aggressively enough to force Di
amond Shamrock to assume re
sponsibility for a major cleanup
of the neighborhood. He also
said the state has failed to con
duct health tests of the residents.
, , ,VThey’tre trying to portray
.themselves as .the knights in
white suits, taking baby steps
when they should be running a
marathon,” he said.
Gordon said Diamond Sham
rock has the financial and tech
nological capability to solve the
problem. If the state does not act
soon, he said, the Ironbound re
sidents will return to court to
force some action.
