high school science labs in Virginia last year.
According to RCHS science teacher Brion Patterson, memo No. 140 from the state superintendent of public instruction dated August, 1979, lists chromium as a potentially hazardous chemical. The memo allows for the use of chromium if it is essential to science programs but stipulates that it must be used with care and stored in a safe place. The memo describes chromium as a “suspected carcinogen” and notes that its “hexavalent compounds have an irritating and corrosive effect on tissue, giving rise to ■ ulcers and dermatitous on prolonged exposure...toxic effects: pulmonary.”
Peggy Clark of Flint Hill spoke in favor of Kuncewicz’s proposal, describing the tannery as “a legitimate business’ for an industrially zoned building that’s “got to be put to some good use.”
Allen Stokes asked for the difference between Kuncewicz’s operation and the tannery in Luray.
In Luray, large animal hides that carry a tremendous amount of flesh are processed, according to Worrell. This flesh is left to rot, he said, and it is the rotting tissue that creates the offensive odor.
