“Monsanto, PCBs and the Spokane River”
Sept. 27. Peter von Stackelberg, an investigative journalist, writer, and publisher who contributed to the “Poison Papers” project, will discuss his contention that Monsanto produced and sold the toxic industrial chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) — even years after learning that they posed hazards to public health and the environment. PCBs are long-lived man-made organic compounds that were banned by Congress in 1979 after being linked to health risks in humans and to environmental harm. Hosted by Gonzaga University School of Law’s Environmental Law and Land Use Clinic.
