A Civil Action
|
In Woburn, people claiming that the drinking water was causing
childhood cancer were initially dismissed as cranks. The
corporate polluters used their vast resources to stonewall and
obscure the truth. Many others in the community thought that
the cancer stricken families were simply tearing the community
down and hurting property values with their complaints.
Ultimately, years after litigation was completed, government
sponsored studies confirmed the contaminated drinking water was
a major cause of childhood cancer in Woburn. Be amazed by the
similarities between this story and our own in Toms River.
