针对纽约州贝斯佩奇的有毒羽流提起诉讼

Napoli Shkolnik has filed a class action lawsuit against Northrop Grumman Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (collectively “Grumman”) on behalf of fifteen Bethpage residents who have been injured by a massive toxic plume emanating from Grumman’s operations.  For the past sixty years, Grumman has caused the release of numerous toxic contaminants, including trichloroethylene (“TCE”), tetrachloroethylene (“PERC”), and other volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”), as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”), arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury into the ground at its facilities. This has lead to a 化学物质的有害水平 在周围的住宅土壤中。 Grumman 从未及时警告周围社区污染，并且一直未能修复污染。

Napoli Shkolnik is seeking $500 million in damages for personal injury and property damage claims, as well as punitive damages. The complaint also seeks the establishment of a medical monitoring program to pay for past and future costs of obtaining necessary medical care to treat the injuries suffered due to the contamination.

该设施以前称为格鲁曼航空航天-贝斯佩奇设施站点，包括诺斯罗普格鲁曼公司、海军武器工业储备厂和格鲁曼钢铁公司，位于拿骚县中东部约 600 英亩。从 20 年代开始，格鲁曼公司开始制造和测试飞机、武器，最后是卫星。它于 1996 年关门大吉。

伤害原告的有毒地下水羽流是格鲁曼公司在拿骚县遗址的脱脂、平面喷漆作业和金属表面处理过程造成的，并继续在贝斯佩奇的住宅下移动、传播和扩散。由于化学物质的极度挥发性，污染物以蒸汽的形式通过土壤向上迁移，进入居民的院子、地下室和家中。

沉淀池是用来容纳从水箱和地漏中泄漏的 TCE 和 PCB 以及重金属的土壤，现在是 Bethpage 社区公园球场的所在地，这是居民暴露的另一个来源。

暴露的居民有肝损伤、肾损伤、心血管损伤、免疫系统功能受损、膀胱癌、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、肾细胞癌以及其他疾病和癌症的风险。孕妇尤其危险，因为摄入会损害胎儿发育。受影响的家庭，例如像 Rosalie Romano 这样的长期居民，从未被警告过危险。经常去 Bethpage 社区公园的 Romano 女士被诊断出患有乳腺癌，Maria Spicer、Jayne Mann 和 Denise Florio 也被诊断出患有乳腺癌，他们都住在一英里之外。其他人，例如 Daniel Gallante 和 Sal Raucci，已被诊断出患有非霍奇金淋巴瘤。
