Post: acute mecury poisoning
Posted by Fred R Dressler on 2/13/04
A high science lab was "relieved" of a 1 lb..(16oz) flask of pure liquid mercury, taken to a residence aproximately 50 ft from school poperty, was drank by a 9 year old boy and subsequently spilled throughout the second floor of the two story, wood frame house. Due to it's proximatey to the school it was very popular with disinfranchised youth. over a decade the mercury seeped though the floorboards of the second story, directly above the kitchen area until eventually puddling above, and leaking from the kitchen ceiling... for a decade as many as fifty other individuals (kids) were "rained" on by mercury... I'm 43 and have the neurological motorskills of a man twice my age... is it a "tort" case or a "class action"? considering the number of people who are not yet aware of the problem... (I haven't told them yet)...can anyone help me?...
