Suit Targets Dow Canada Over Lake Erie Mercury Discharge
The suit claims Dow Canada caused mercury contamination of Lake Erie, prompting Ohio to spend on testing and investigation. A partial ban on commercial fishing has been in effect since April 1970 after confiscating thousands of pounds of unwholesome fish, inflicting economic damages and lost revenue.
