This morning I woke up to a news report on the radio that part of the Port of Montreal still remains contaminated five years after a toxic spill of more than a million litres of paraxylene. Paraxylene (or para-xylene) has been known to cause cancer in lab animals and is listed by Breast Cancer Action Montreal as a toxic carcinogen in cleaning products. Great.
