Massachusetts Dirty Dozen Awards 2003

The Dirty Dozen Awards raise the profile of toxic pollution statewide and boost local efforts to fight toxics in Massachusetts communities. This year's 12 recipients have all distinguished themselves by their threat to public health and the environment and for the lack of aggressive action taken by the industry and/or government officials to address the situation.

The recipients were selected from more than 20 nominations from residents across the Commonwealth. The winners were chosen by a committee of eight environmental, worker health and safety, and public health experts, and are being honored at media events at the sites throughout the week.
