Smurfit

Results from a recent round of sampling are needed to learn whether the cancer and non-cancer hazard risks are worse than originally thought.

While pollution concentration increased near the Smurfit site, pollution spikes were also found in other locations.

University of Montana graduate students have modeled various aspects of the Clark Fork River near the Smurfit Stone mill site in hopes of getting the Environmental Protection Agency to do the same before a cleanup process is chosen.

The Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to conduct more sampling at the Smurfit-Stone mill site, but a recent project shows the agency and local organizations still disagree over what information needs to be collected.
