Dr. Rosalie Bertell Comments to City of Tonawanda Mayor Pilozzi &- Town of Tonawanda Public Officials- April 31, 2006
In the face of all this real threat to health and reproduction, I believe that it is foolish for you to think about a housing development. The risk of reproductive loss or congenital diseases and malformation is quite high, and this is the first health problem which will appear in a new community of young adults. The cancers will develop more slowly. When the people realize the connection with previously known serious pollution they will be irate, and the County will be liable.
You have been forewarned that you will most likely have another environmental disaster, with human heartaches, and legal liability. In addition to the cancer and reproductive problems, you will have a very high risk of asthma, respiratory problems and cardio-vascular diseases due to high levels of air pollution.
My sincere advice to the Town of Tonawanda would be to deal first with your major pollution problems, encourage local industries to move forward toward clean production, clean up historical wastelands, and then prepare for new housing developments.
