Well researched and horrifying article from Washington Post, about Monsanto Corporation's attempts at hiding (very) incriminating evidence about its widespread pollution in the past. E.g. in producing the toxic (and now banned) industrial coolant, PCB, it put thousands of times the legal limit into local streams, found by their own experiments that fish submerged in a local creek died in 10 seconds, spurting blood and shedding skin, and still they decided it wasn't worth the expense to do anything about it, and they kept it quiet. This is information is based on internal Monsanto memos. Good news is that many past manufacturers of PCBs are being forced to clean up their messes. More >
