For an article on conflict of interest in media coverage of dioxin
issues, I am seeking further information on dioxin contamination
from pulp mills in Canada owned by the New York Times Company or
any other media establishment.

We also have a continuing interest in dioxin and other
environmental contaminants. Among our current projects: a
literature review on pulp mills as related to cancer and
respiratory effects in workers and communities, for the Natural
Resources Defense Council of Maine; an ecologic study of childhood
cancer and background radiation; technical assistance to various
community groups.
