Rosanne Barone, of the advocacy group Texas Campaign for the Environment was quoted by PBS Newshour in a piece about Superfund sites and their impact on human health.
The whole Superfund process is just so screwed up for a number of reasons that these sites just sit there with these highly toxic materials just sitting there right in the open, right in the middle of people’s areas where they live. They were causing problems anyway and then when a hurricane hits it just makes it a million times worse.”
