View-Master factory toxic waste site
The former View-Master factory in Beaverton, Oregon, was a toxic waste site where workers were unknowingly exposed to excessive levels of the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE), a known carcinogen. At the factory, which closed in the 1980s, it is estimated that up to 25,000 workers were exposed to dangerous levels of TCE via the factory's drinking water, which was drawn from a well on-site.
