Oil Company Accused of Dumping Waste in Amazon
US oil company Occidental Petroleum has been accused of contaminating an area of the Peruvian Amazon where it and its successor company have drilled for oil over the past 32 years, creating misery for the local Achuar people through widespread lead and cadmium poisoning. The oilfield in the Corrientes river basin was turned over to the Argentinian oil company Pluspetrol in 2000, but the pattern of spillage and poisoning has continued unabated.
