CNN's Sanjay Gupta MD interviews EWG President Ken Cook
Last weekend Dr. Gupta's short interview with EWG Founder & President, Ken Cook, aired on CNN's Sanjay Gupta MD show.
The two men spoke in Mossville, Louisiana, a city renowned for its industrial air pollution and home to the impressive Louisiana Bucket Brigade, a local organization that advocates for clean air and environmental justice.
I love Ken Cook. Great information here on toxics. I'm glad to see mainstream media covering his work!

EPA found no contaminants in Mossville drinking water - confirmed the problem is poor construction, filtration, and maintenance of the Mossville residential water system. Mossville is challenged economically like most small communities, but that gives them no right to smear the entire Lake Charles community - until their residents start telling the truth, America should start discrediting their story. They want a handout, pure and simple.
Please see Water ‘is safe to drink’ on Page A1 of Tuesday, August 17, 2010 issue of American Press, Lake Charles LA newspaper.
