An industrial plant operated by Goodyear has been releasing cancer-causing toxic emissions into communities around Niagara Falls for nearly 70 years, putting tens of thousands of nearby residents, workers, and students at serious risk.
The facility is located at 5500 Goodyear Drive, Niagara Falls, NY.
Ortho-toluidine is used as a building-block intermediate to manufacture dyes, rubber processing chemicals, agricultural pesticides (like herbicides), and pharmaceuticals.
Ortho-toluidine is invisible and may have a faint, musty chemical odor. While individual odor thresholds vary widely, many health departments say you cannot rely on the odor to detect its presence. It poses severe health hazards, and chronic exposure can lead to serious health issues. The EPA classified ortho-toluidine as a human carcinogen.
Cancers associated with ortho-toluidine:
- Bladder
- Kidney
- Leukemia
- Liver
- Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
- Spleen
- Urinary Tract
