Dangerous Chromium Spreads Peril Through NJ Neighborhood's Groundwater

"A highly toxic industrial chemical has been spreading under a Garfield neighborhood for almost three decades, slowly seeping into homes and threatening the health of thousands."



"Residents live in fear that hexavalent chromium is infiltrating their basements, that their families could get cancer and that their property values have been destroyed.

And state officials allowed it all to happen."

Scott Fallon reports for the Bergen Record November 19, 2011.
