Sunday November 30th 7 pm.-- Sudbury Soils: What’s the Risk?
Health of Sudburians Focus of Public Forum
Dr. Kapil Katter to Speak in Council Chambers November 30th
Dr. Kapil Katter's is the author of a report that found that Sudburians
health may be at risk as a result of soil contamination in the Sudbury
area. The forum will include presentations and a question and answer
session.
Dr. Kapil Katter's report was released by the Community Committee on
the Sudbury Soils Study last month. The report said that the Sudbury
Soil Study Human Health Risk Assessment Report (HHRA) underestimates
the degree of risk to local people and inappropriately makes
decisions about that risk that should be made by the community.
Dr. Katter will present his report in a public forum in the City of
Greater Sudbury Council Chambers in Tom Davies Square at 7 pm. on
Sunday November 30th. The forum will include presentations and a
question and answer session.
The review of the HHRA was commissioned by Mine Mill 598 and Local
6500 of the Steelworkers this summer and was released on October 22.
The Community Committee on the Sudbury Soil Study has been organized
in response to the soils studies and related risk assessments.
