Benzene in Sand Creek measured at 400 times amount tolerated by drinking-water standards
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency clean-up coordinators Thursday said the black goo leaking from the Sand Creek shoreline north of downtown Denver is a “a gasoline-like material” that contains cancer-causing benzene.
