times beach contamination  

Definición

  • On the Meramec River in Missouri, Times Beach was primarily a small resort community with a population just over 1,000 citizens. Sadly, it became emblematic of the discovery of the hazardous waste problem characterizing the 1980s and, as such, was rendered a “ghost town” in the early part of the decade due to contamination by dioxin, a cancer-producing chemical.
