October 31, 2007 - The state Public Health Division has identified 11 homes in Eugene’s Trainsong neighborhood that may — or may not — be polluted by unhealthy levels of solvent fumes, according to a report released Tuesday.
Although the most recent tests of the air in homes show safe levels of solvents, earlier tests found an elevated cancer risk for people living in the homes.
The pollution plume underneath a large swath of the Trainsong and River Road neighborhoods in west Eugene came from decades of solvent spills at the current location of the Union Pacific rail yard.
