"How a school shutdown resurrected concerns over nuclear contamination in North Saint Louis"
"Last October, #Jana Elementary School in Florissant, Missouri shut down after an independent study found radioactive lead dust in the school building.
The incident brought light back on a decades-old issue in the community -- nuclear waste that has seeped into the environment throughout North St. Louis County.
The waste is the product of the country's earliest #nuclear programs. Starting in the 1940s with the Manhattan Project and continuing through the beginning of the Cold War, downtown St. Louis' #Mallickrodt Chemical Works was responsible for processing #uranium ore."
