| 2007 | : Monsanto paid contractors to dump thousands of tonnes of highly toxic waste in British landfill sites knowing that the chemicals would contaminate wildlife and people. Thirty years later, the chemicals are found to be polluting underground water supplies and the atmosphere around the Brofiscin quarry near Cardiff in South Wales. According to the agency it will cost up to £100 million to clean up the site that has been called “one of the most contaminated” in the UK. 67 chemicals including Agent Orange derivatives and Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are leaking from the unlined porous quarry that was not authorised to take chemical wastes. Information gleaned from previously unseen internal company documents and court papers filed in the US show that Monsanto knew from 1965 onwards that the deadly PCBs manufactured in the US and in Newport under the trade name Aroclor were accumulating in human milk, rivers, fish and seafood, wildlife and plants, but they continued to manufacture them and dispose of the waste in South Wales until 1977. | The Guardi. |
