FA is correct TT, it's a genuine problem. Remember, the site was a council tip during the early part of the 20th century and, as was the custom back then, there were no regulations as to what could, or couldn't, be tipped; it all went in without checks, so basically no-one knows what's in there - just that unspecific "chemicals" were involved. You may remember that the old superdome plan was going to clean up the site, but obviously never got started.
