Earlier this year, Colonia grad Al Lupiano discovered more than 100 teachers and alums of the school who reported having brain tumors.
Komorek, Lupiano and several other parents criticized the assessment — which did not include taking soil or water samples — for not being thorough enough to put their minds at ease, despite assurances from state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn LaTourette.
The sample came back indicating PCBs at concentration of 4.3 ug/wipe , “indicating that PCBs may be present in indoor air,” according to a report compiled by Komorek and obtained by NJ Advance Media. The soil also tested positive for excessive levels of chlordane, heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide — all pesticides, the report said.
