Disease and Causes of Death

There are no studies being done to see how Dioxin has affected those who have been contaminated.

They said that effects of exposure would start being seen in 20 -25 years.

In the beginning a few people had started to gather information but has stop because they found it to be to depressing.

Recently people have started asking question concerning medical conditions of former Times Beach residents who probably were contaminated and can not believe that the government or no one else is not doing any  studies.

After talking with a few people we have decided to start gathering this information ourselves.

We must keep in mind that many people get cancer and other diseases that have never been in contact with dioxin, however knowing that you have been contaminated always leaves the doubt that it was caused by the contamination.

Below is a form we will start using to collect information, we will try to keep as confidential as possible. We do need to gather contact information just in case we get to a point that the diseases and causes of death can be linked to the dioxin.
