Document Summary
The plaintiffs will argue that both beatrice food company and w. r. grace have been illegally dumping hazardous chemicals into the soil surrounding the woburn area. These chemicals traveled through the soil and contaminated two water wells in the county of east woburn. The irresponsible dumping of the chemicals have led to many children in the area of woburn to be diagnosed with leukemia, cardiac arrhythmias, as well as immune and neurological disorders. The contaminated wells, which have led to children becoming sick, are a direct result of the w. r. grace and beatrice food. Additionally, i will talk about the chemicals trichloroethylene (tce), tetrachloroethylene (pce), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (tca), dibromochloromethane, and chloroform in relation to w. r. grace and beatrice foods companies.
