Narangba Industrial Estate - Toxic Hotspot
In June 2006 the community living in the vicinity of the Narangba Industrial estate began a class action against the state of Queensland over years of contamination and illness resulting from the proximity of hazardous industries to their homes.
Many locals have experienced health problems since the 2005 Binary Chemicals fire, but some have been experiencing the ill effect of the estate for a lot longer.
