Two men from McHenry County have sued Rohm and Haas Chemicals, alleging that the toxic chemicals it released into air and groundwater have caused them brain cancer. A spokesman for the company said that the cleanup of groundwater near the plant has been underway for over 20 years, and also pointed out that the men live more than a mile away. He said that there was no basis for linking the mens’ illnesses to the operations at their plant.
