Cancer-causing substance found at UF

(Gainesville SUN)
University of Florida police made an unusual discovery Tuesday at a campus
sorority: a cancer-causing compound left in the Dumpster.
A handyman at the Alpha Delta Phi sorority initially called police to report
finding a glass bottle with a hazardous materials warning on it. Police
later discovered the bottle contained cadmium chloride.
The substance contains cadmium, which is a cancer hazard, and its dust can
cause lung and kidney disease, according to its warning
label<http://www.espimetals.com/msds%27s/cadmiumchloride.pdf>
.
Police also made another discovery in the garbage bag containing the bottle:
several financial statements belonging to James Weidner, according to a
police report.
Weidner, 81, is a retired agronomy professor. He told police that he was a
chemist who accumulated lots of chemicals over the years, and his wife had
thrown the bottle away for him, according to the report.
Police decided not to pursue the matter because there was no criminal
intent, according to police spokesman Capt. Jeff Holcomb. He said the matter
was referred to UF’s environmental health and safety department for possibly
action by environmental regulators.
