Poisoned: The Workers of Brush Wellman, by Heather Lares
It has been documented over the last thirty years that exposure to Beryllium Oxide is harmful and potentially deadly. Brush Wellman, a Beryllium Oxide manufacturer, has a horrible past of endangering its workers. Poisoned: The Workers of Brush Wellman explores a Brush Wellman ceramics plant located in an area on the Southside of Tucson, Arizona which has a long past of environmental contamination. Two former Brush Wellman workers who have contracted Beryliosis as a result of their hazardous exposure to Berylium tell of Brush Wellman's careless attitude toward its workers and how their lives and the lives of their family will never be the same.

Well done! In Wilmington, DE, the issue is about brownfields and brownfield remediation. Most affected by this crap are low income and people of color. Collateral damage. I believe and know in my heart that my illness was caused (or triggered) by exposure to many toxic substances in Wilmington. Will the medical/scientific communities, EPA, CDC, and OSHA ever really protect human health? I doubt it. Modern disease = environmental exposure in my opinion. - UnplugFromTheMatrix |
