PCB Congress
The first PCB Health Congress convened in Fairfield, CT, because that is the location of the global headquarters of the General Electric Corporation -- GE. GE, one of the world's largest and most profitable corporations, is directly responsible for the contamination by PCBs of at least the Hudson River, the largest Superfund site in the United States, of the Housatonic River, and of areas around Rome, Georgia. In addition, GE has been a leader in misleading the public about PCBs, in order to avoid facing its responsibilities. So one of the high points of the Congress was a protest at GE Headquarters during rush hour -- that gave activists from abused communities the chance to confront one of their PCB abusers.
