Deano, Found it intersting and posted it. I DO know that there are
several people who are claiming illness from that site. I
thought it was very clever to refer to what they are
experiencing as "The Downey Syndrome". A couple of articles about it, linked from this article:
http://la.indy media.org/news/2008/08/219391.php Also, I don't think that it is true at all, that no one is
listening. "Illness and brownfields" is always a topic that has
many twists and turns because there is so much legislature that
it takes to turn a brownfield into a buildable site. This one
looks particularly complicated because you have a hospital on
the site and a major motion picture studio with workers
continually building sets, etc...as I understand it. As an example that some brownfields may not be as clean or safe
as one would want, below is info of another one out of the UK.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3014336.stm Wonder what the percentage of brownfields is where there are no
reports of increased illness to those where there are reports. Sharon On 9/04/08, Deano wrote:
