Construction dust from a wind turbine project in Niagara is behind a $10 million lawsuit that is making its way through the court system.
St.Ann’s resident Stefanos Karatopis says he was visiting his sister back in 2015 when cement dust from a nearby Wind Farm project blew into the home sending 5 people to hospital.
Karatopis, who is also a member of the Niagara Land Owners Association says the dust was so bad it was hard to return home.
Lawyer Akradi Bouchelev represents Karatopis and says the dust contains very harmful chemicals that can impact a person’s health.
The $10 million dollar personal injury and damage claim has been filed against the Wind Farm, construction companies involved, the Niagara Region, and West Lincoln.
Bouchele says some have filed a statement of defence and some have asked for a delay.
He says the next stage is the examination of discovery.
