Description

When a fire at the BioLab plant in Conyers, Georgia, sent a toxic cloud of smoke across the community, residents were left to wonder what they had been exposed to and what it would mean for their long-term health. One year later, many of those questions remain unanswered.

In Manufacturing Danger: The BioLab Story, GPB’s Pamela Kirkland follows residents through the aftermath, while uncovering new details about what was happening inside the plant. Former employees describe ignored warnings, and whistleblowers raise questions about the response to the disaster.

Two years after the BioLab fire sent a massive plume of toxic smoke across metro Atlanta, questions remain about what people in Conyers were actually exposed to. Now, new scientific research is offering the clearest picture yet of what was in that plume as a growing number of residents report health concerns and search for answers.

In Season 3 of Manufacturing Danger: The BioLab Story, host Pamela Kirkland investigates new findings and continues to ask questions about accountability and what government testing may have missed. GPB is commissioning independent environmental sampling as residents continue to ask what happened and what may have been left behind.
