Mysterious Illness Strikes Burlington Ammo Plant
At the Iowa Ordnance plant in Burlington a secret production line shows a sporadic illness affecting 50 to 100 of 200 workers, mostly women, with symptoms include light headedness, dizziness, and nausea. Army officials say an unusual environmental condition is the cause and that similar plants report no trouble, while oxygen treatment and ventilation changes have mitigated incidents. One worker, Jacqueline Allen, 18, was hospitalized and released. The project has operated about six months under Mason & Hanger-Silas Mason Co since 1947.
