The Times Georgian Consultant called in for dioxin study
By Spencer Crawford The Carroll County Board of Health has agreed to contract with an outside consultant who will study a possible relationship between health effects experienced by residents near the Southwire plant and its dioxin release. Also at its meeting Wednesday, the Board of Health adopted the same pricing plan for flu vaccines this year as was in place last year.
Dioxin, a known carcinogen in certain quantities, is a chemical byproduct of the copper-smelting process. From 1971 to 2000, Southwire operated a plant that produced emissions that some have claimed reached a high level.
