Show Notes
Environmental attorney Bryan Brice highlights the severe PCB contamination in Poe Hall at NC State University, linked to cancers and illnesses among over 500 people. Plaintiffs, mainly women with breast cancer, sue the university for constitutional rights violations. The university argues sovereign immunity and negligence, while NC State and alumni sue Monsanto, the toxic caulk maker. Despite long-standing air quality issues, the building closed in 2023 due to unsafe PCB levels, potentially requiring demolition. Brices team prepares expert testimony to link exposures to illnesses, with more lawsuits anticipated.
