Show detail Hide detail

This three-part special report on CKCO-TV News explains why the town of Elmira, Ontario, is "a chemical time bomb".~1) Jim Haskins of CKCO-TV News reports from Elmira, where the Government of Ontario, in a precedent-setting action, ordered Uniroyal Chemical to shut down after a cancer-causing chemical called DMNA was detected in the ground-water and found to have contaminated the water in other communities. Haskins provides historical background from 1941 to the present on the town and its major industry, supplemented by archival photographs and footage, graphics and interviews with a retired Uniroyal supervisor, a local trapper and a university professor.~2) Art Baumunk, CKCO-TV News, presents the concerns of residents through interviews with an Elmira family and scientists who discuss "acceptable levels" of the chemical in the drinking water.~3) Frank Lynn, CKCO-TV News, examines the response of various levels of government through footage of a legislative session and interviews with Uniroyal employees, an environmentalist, a regional government chairman and Environment Minister Jim Bradley. <20mn>
