"Thousands of previously internal industry documents called the “Poison Papers” are now freely available for public review and research in University of California, San Francisco’s Industry Documents Library (IDL)."

"The “Poison Papers” include approximately 5,000 digitized copies of materials gathered primarily by Carol Van Strum, who reportedly collected over 100,000 documents from her battles with Dow, Monsanto, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Forestry Service, and others over PCBs, dioxin, and the aerial spraying of herbicide 2,4,5-T in the forest where she lived. The chemical dioxin, a serious pollutant of chemical and pulp and paper manufacturing, was a contaminant in Agent Orange, which the U.S. military sprayed in Vietnam and was linked to serious health problems, including birth defects."

"“I collected these papers over decades and am so thrilled that they will be freely accessible to activists, lawyers, community groups, and anyone who is working to challenge the chemical industry’s poisoning of people and our homes,” said Van Strum who gathered and stored the papers over a 40-year period. Additional documents were gathered by journalists Peter von Stackelberg and Eric Coppolino, and environmentalist Diane Hebert, who helped to preserve the documents and make them available to the public."
