Brazilians Worried, Apathetic About Toxic Contamination in Neighborhood - Framingham, MA Patch

Brazilians Worried, Apathetic About Toxic Contamination in Neighborhood - Framingham, MA Patch: "The emotions of parents of whose children attend Woodrow Wilson Elementary School range from apathetic to panic, when it comes to the school's neighbor General Chemical.

Rosana Souza, a Brazilian mother of a third grader at Wilson Elementary School, speaks little English. “I was told that the whole school was contaminated. I called a teacher and she told me if that were the case, she wouldn’t be working there,” said Souza in Portuguese.

Monday night at a hearing attended by more than 100 people Framingham Health Director Ethan Mascoop restated the school is safe. The air quality is tested very regularly, he added."
