Dioxin Update

Dow is backsliding on its estimates of the dioxin concentration at the Wickes park hot spot. They say that they have measured between 7000 ppt and 18000 ppt on other tests of the Wickes sample, well below the 1.6 million ppt previously reported.

This raises a lot of questions. Was the 1.6 million reading due to extremely uneven distribution of dioxin in the soil? Or are they doing something in their retests that biases the results low?

Dr. Garabrant is still downplaying the exposure of Tittabawassee/Saginaw residents.

See the Saginaw News reports on Dow's spin and the quarterly community meeting with Garabrant's quote.
