FROM THE ARTICLE: "A Canadian researcher who peer-reviewed the study told the CPI that the findings have been suppressed due to government links to industries that may be liable for industrial pollution in the Great Lakes ecosystem." --

If the (US) government is suppressing these findings to protect big industries, that means they're KEEPING the report from being PUBLISHED and they're putting people in danger! This is a serious charge; we shouldn't just believe the first article we read...

Has anyone read the "Source" listed at the end of this article? It links to:
