Residents who live along the Kalamazoo River in Michigan have filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Enbridge, Inc., the company responsible for last week’s spill of more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the river, the result of a ruptured pipe. Already, unsafe levels of benzene have been found in the wake of the spill. The volatile compound can cause headaches, rashes, and stomach distress.
