We examine the relationship between Alberton chemical spill victims and the doctors who treated them--or served as witnesses against them in litigation.

We consider what was known about exposure to chlorine gases at the time of the Alberton spill, and understood about multiple chemical sensitivity.

We continue the chapter on Claims, as Alberton spill victims recount their experiences with Montana Rail Link claims agents. We also look at the case to be made for exposure to chlorine and other chemicals in the Alberton spill.

We begin the final part of GASSED, Part 6, The Last Train, which examines the only remaining avenue for justice for the Alberton spill victims--litigation.

We conclude Part 5, as Robert Martin resigns as EPA Ombudsman rather than accept the restructuring of his office, which would vastly weaken its function. With Martin no longer on the Alberton case, the EPA Office of Inspector General issues a final report on the Alberton spill.

We begin Part V-Derailed. The EPA releases its blueprint to muzzle EPA Ombudsman Bob Martin, threatening to derail all of his cases, including Alberton. Meanwhile, the EPA finally retests the Alberton spill site.

Over 4-1/2 years after the Alberton train derailment and chemical spill, Alberton spill victims finally get a public hearing—which includes a startling revelation.

We conclude "War," as EPA Ombudsman Bob Martin continues his Alberton investigation, while dealing with EPA attempts to control his office. Meanwhile, Dr. Cynthia Lewis-Younger releases the results of her clinical evaluation, and the EPA makes plans to retest the environment around Alberton.
