28th plaintiff in the McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits
The lawsuits blame the cancers on decades of vinyl chloride air and groundwater pollution from neighboring manufacturers Rohm and Haas and Modine.
Modine settled in 2008, denying any culpability but agreeing to pay $1.4 million toward medical monitoring and $100,000 toward property value reimbursement. The 695 residents received vouchers for $2,020 apiece to pursue any screenings their doctors consider appropriate. Centegra Health System agreed earlier this year to offer significant discounts for MRIs funded under the settlement.
Rohm and Haas continues to fight the lawsuits in court.
