Subject: El Toro contaminated with TCE and PCE contaminates

lot of information on sites below:

A trichloroethylene (TCE) toxic plume was discovered in 1985 off of Marine Corps
Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, California. El Toro was placed on the EPA Superfund
list in 1990, closed in July 1999, and most of the land sold at a public auction
in 2005. MWSG-37 (EPA Site 24) was the source of the toxic plume spreading off
the base. Multiple contaminants were found on base near landfills, including
radionuclides (Uranium 235, Radium 226 and Radium 228).

in a nutshell, either contaminates can cause miscarriages, birth defects and
illness in children, (even sprem can carry the contaminate to wife); affects the
heart, brain, skin, autoimmune (such as Lupus, MS or MS type health problems,
nerve damage, blood, bone, cancer of any major organs, and so on. I hope that
this is helpful and also that you may help others by passing information along
to others who may have been exposed.
