Case No. 6
In August, 1969, 83 football
team members and coaching
staff were stricken with infec-
tious hepatitis due to subsur-
face hose bibs and a nearby
fire. The fire trucks in fighting
the fire reduced the main pres-
sure enough to cause backsi-
phonage from the hose bibs.
Case No. 7
In the summer of 1970 in New
Jersey, a soft drink vending
machine in the Caddy house
of a golf club was connected
to the building heating system
in which hexavalent chromium
had been added. Eleven cases
of nausea were reported by the
caddies.
