Toxic Shock: Poisons Found In Waterside Havens

[eastwood1980]

Hi, been reading this forum for few months now..... around 10months but today i have decided to become

a member.

Have you guys seen this on Sydney morning herald and what's your opinion?

Pittwater Council ordered Unomedical, which makes sterile disposable equipment for operating theatres, to stop using its sterilising unit after discovering that untreated ethylene oxide, classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organisation, had been pumped untreated across the northern beaches from the stacks in Mona Vale for years.

PS ( i love those hairtail reports)

I'm landbased. Anyone know good location around Cowan for hairtail?

When does the season end for hairtail?

Lobster seasons coming.

Eastwood good to see you have decided to join us

Interesting but worrying post, not really surprising with all the other reports

of contamination of the Sydney area by industry due to ignorance

and greed that have surfaced after being hidden from the public for so long

You can only hope people have learnt from past mistakes, but there is always

someone ruled by the $$$$ over responsible business ethics and the good of

the community that tries the wrong road

Don't forget there are boaties looking for fishing buddies out there so check

the Hairtail posts for references of LB spots to try and crew required

Good to you

Chris
