Talk:Toms River

Cancer Cluster
Clearly, this Wikipedia entry has been initiated by people less concerned with educating people about the Toms River than with pushing their anti-CG and cancer-alarmist agenda. -- Schnazola 17:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Tributaries
Do the Union Branch and the other tributaries really need their own webpages? Is there any news about them that wouldn't be covered by this main article? Eliz81 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Ciba Geigy dye works
I came to this page hoping to find out something about the pollution of the river by Ciba Geigy but there is nothing here. Could a page be made for this? There is a new book out on the subject as a few days ago: http://www.amazon.com/Toms-River-Story-Science-Salvation/dp/055380653X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364172793&sr=1-1&keywords=Toms+River%3A+A+Story+of+Science+and+Salvation.

River Pollution
I've seen several studies which indicate that parts of the Toms River, particularly in the Beachwood area, are seriously, seriously polluted. On some of the worse days, Fecal Coliform Bacteria tests have found the river to contain 30 times the amount of the bacteria which is considered safe. Perhaps something about this should be added? It's rather significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.134.130 (talk) 03:03, 16 August 2013 (UTC)


 * @68.39.134.130 fecal coliform tests are run on just about every Beach area or recreational waterway on the East Coast. It's not uncommon for relatively clean waterways to have high levels, especially after a big storm where there's a lot of runoff. It's a big reason why the shore towns have a major push for people cleaning up after their dogs and disposing of their trash properly. Lindsey40186 (talk) 14:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
