'Bombshell Revelations' Point to Ongoing Poisoning of Grassy Narrows People | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community: The reporting, published Thursday, said that soil samples collected by volunteers from the organization Earthroots as well as The Star reporters were found to contain "hundreds of times the level of mercury found in a nearby uncontaminated site," the organization said Friday.
"Mercury contamination, a serious health risk, has plagued the indigenous community in northern Ontario for decades," The Star reported. "Dangerous and persistently high levels of mercury in the sediment and fish in the river system suggest there is an ongoing source, but the province has denied the possibility that the site of the old mill—100 kilometres upstream from Grassy Narrows—could be responsible."
