#AudioMo - Day 22 - Morton Toxic Waste Burial

Nov 22, 2012, 08:43 PM

For #AudioMo Day 22 I research a topic that was once very close to home and stopped us fully exploring our local area. I grew up in Morton Derbyshire where there was a suspected Toxic Waste Burial Site, We were always told never to go in to a particular field which was rumoured to be the location for the burial. An unknown quantity of the chemical Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TDCC) or Dioxin for short was buried there by the Coalite Company after an explosion at their Bolsover Chemical Plant.
