DuPont's Toxic Legacy in New Jersey

Monitoring wells used to test for contamination in groundwater around the shooting pond on the former DuPont munitions site.

James O’Neill and Scott Fallon, reporters for The Record/NorthJersey.com join us to discuss their recent investigation into DuPont’s toxic legacy in northern New Jersey: “Toxic Secrets: Pollution, Evasion and Fear in North Jersey.” They found that owners of the former DuPont facility which operated out of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey for 100 years knew that the cancer-causing solvents they leaked could vaporize into homes in the surrounding communities. They examine DuPont’s fight against regulators, and the cancer clusters that exist as a result of toxic plumes.

This segment is guest hosted by Jami Floyd.
