Widow Wins Her Claim On Columbia Pesticide Death
In a federal ruling tied to a 1966 exposure incident, Marilyn Burk of Columbia was awarded workers compensation for her husband Donald C. Burk's death from Hodgkin's disease. The case linked Dieldrin exposure to the disease, with Burk an agriculture extension agent in Boone County undergoing a pesticide demonstration when a hose failed. The award follows prior payments and notes Dieldrin’s lingering toxicity and FDA clearance for select crops.
