Questions have been raised about leaks and spills in Sarnia’s ‘Chemical Valley’ after a combined investigation into the issue.
The joint investigation has been spearheaded by The Toronto Star, Global News, the National Observer and the journalism schools at Ryerson and Concordia.
The exposé has questioned whether industrial companies and the provincial government are properly warning local residents, including those in Aamjiwnaang First Nation, when chemicals are leaked.
One of the chemicals in question is benzene, which is known to cause cancer at high levels of long-term exposure.
