United States, Anniston, May 24, 2018 From the series ??Contaminations?? Monsanto dumped waste straight into Snow Creek. PCB levels of up to 5 000 mg/kg have been measured in the water where de- formed fish were caught. Thousands of tons of PCB-contaminated waste dumped on the hill still runs down into Choccolocco Creek which is polluted for miles. Monsanto documents marked "CONFIDENTIAL: Read and Destroy" show that for decades, the multinational company concealed what it was doing and, even more importantly, concealed the fact that it knew. In 1966, Monsanto executives were aware "that fish placed in the local creek would end up floating on their backs within ten seconds, spurting blood and shedding skin as if they had been boiled alive". But they told no one. In 1975, another study undertaken by the company showed that PCBs caused tumors in rats. Monsanto did not publish these findings. "We can't afford to lose one dollar of business." Today, negotiations to clean up Snow Creek and Choccolocco Creek are still under way. According to certain scientists, there may not be a single mammal on earth without traces of PCB in its blood. Monsanto simply sends letters out to local residents reminding them not to plant anything in their gardens. ?tats-Unis, Anniston, 24 mai 2018 Issu de la serie ??Contaminations??
