Greenpeace and Sawmill Workers Against Poisons (SWAP) placed signs on confirmed and suspected dioxin contaminated sites around Whakatane. The signposting draws attention to at least 25 sites around the Whakatane area, which may have had dioxin contaminated waste dumped on them from the disused sawmill site and the Whakatane Board Mill. The groups want these sites to be tested for dioxin and other dangerous chemicals.
