Conyers, Georgia is confronting ongoing health worries after the September 2024 fire at the BioLab chemical plant.

 

Independent environmental activist Scott Smith found elevated dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during his tests, contradicting official statements that minimized contamination risks.

 

Smith, recognized for his Deepwater Horizon work, responded to local pleas and gathered samples from soil, water, and debris.

 

Certified lab results revealed hazardous compounds, sparking concerns about the thoroughness of the initial response.

 

The EPA reportedly dismissed Smith’s findings, and documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act indicate a possible effort to suppress independent results.

 

Residents such as Cheryl Garcia, who faced health issues, urge further testing and accountability.

 

BioLab has ceased manufacturing but continues as a distribution hub, while cleanup negotiations persist and legal actions mount against the company.
