The Hebert ChroniclesDiane Hebert has spent over 25 years raising public awareness about the hazards of dioxin contamination and battling pollution issues, many of which are linked to the Dow Chemical Company. In 2003 she received the Petoskey Prize for Environmental LeadershipBelow are items of interest that Diane has shared with others over the years. Diane has been a resident of the City of Midland since 1977 and witnessed first hand the endless delays and cover-ups by Dow Chemical and various City, State and Federal agencies to avoid public understanding of the dioxin contamination in their bodies, homes, properties, and watershed. She notes the same misinformation and delay tactics used by Dow to suppress contamination issues in Midland during the the 1970's, 80's & 90's are being repeated today with the Dow dioxin contamination the City of Midland, Tittabawassee River floodplain, and Saginaw River/Bay watershed. Especially troublesome are the reports of elevated cancers and birth defects in Midland back as far as the 1970's. |
