City To Test People Near Saunders Park For Arsenic Poisoning

wcbe files

Columbus Public Health officials are asking people living near Saunders Park be tested for arsenic poisoning.  The agency says residents of eight properties near the park may be sick after a previous round of testing found high levels of contamination in their yards.  Nine acres of the park have been closed because of contamination from an old fertilizer plant. The city has set aside money for remediation work.
