The Downey Tragedy - PRESS INFORMATION

What was meant to be a financially feasible remediation project of a

SuperFund/Brownfield site in Southern California has gone terribly

wrong. A large number of employees that have worked on the property

which was a former NASA facility have become ill, some seriously or

have died.

Serious debilitating illnesses and confirmed deaths are being

directly attributed to this property's toxic and radioactive and T-2

Mycotoxin (trichothecene mycotoxin - Yellow Rain) contamination. This

land was never fully cleaned up before being used for commercial

purposes as a movie studio, a medical facility/hospital and for a

strip mall.

Because these employees became stuck in the Worker's Compensation

system they do have diagnosing physicians but most do not have

treating physicians. They need medical care and they need it NOW!.

SOME CONSISTENT SYMPTOMS OF THE DOWNEY ILLNESS:

Memory Loss - Cognitive Damage - Skin Rashes - Sores on their bodies -

Bloody diarrhea and Bloody Noses - Balance Problems - Multiple

cancers - (Thyroid, Testicular, Kidney, Adrenal)

BACKGROUND ON PROPERTY:

Prior to 1996, this property was designated as a SuperFund site. The

site was downgraded to " brownfield " level of contamination and sold

to The City of Downey.

Government documents show that this site had been used by the

military to develop neutron bombs, rocket fuel, missiles, the Space

Shuttle, Satellites, as well as Delta rockets, and was the site of

the first nuclear reactor in the State of California.

A movie studio, a strip mall and a Kaiser facility are currently

operating on the property. Future plans are to put apartments on the

site.

BACKGROUND ON THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY:

Some of the former military buildings on the property have been

converted into Downey Studios and used for filming. Downey Studios is

currently owned by Industrial Realty Group (IRG) of California. The

property is indemnified by International Risk Group (IRG) of

Colorado, which in turn used a subsidiary for indemnification,

International Risk Assumption - Downey, LLC, (IRAD) which in turn

contracted the remediation to a foreign entity, ARCADIS.
