Michael Sheen meets First Minister about toxic dumping claims
Actor Michael Sheen held a meeting with Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth on Thursday regarding toxic dumping issues raised in his documentary.
Meeting described as constructive
Sheen stated the discussion was constructive and encouraging despite being early days. He spoke about moving forward to address all issues raised by Buried around chemical dumping.
Call for national testing
The actor previously urged MPs to support a national testing programme for historic dumps. High levels of cancer-causing chemicals known as PCBs were found in soil samples and blood near sites linked to Monsanto.
Interview with campaigner
Sheen interviewed farming consultant Douglas Gowan shortly before the man died. Gowan had spent decades warning that communities faced risks from toxic chemicals.
