"Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. was ordered to pay $104.7 million in damages after a jury found the company liable for poisoning New York City water wells with a gasoline additive meant to improve air quality.
A federal jury in New York ruled in the city’s favor today. New York accused Exxon Mobil, the biggest U.S. oil company, of contaminating five wells in and near the Jamaica area of the borough of Queens with methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE."
One more excerpt:
"MTBE renders water undrinkable by making it smell and taste like turpentine, according to the city. The compound can cause dizziness, nausea and nervous-system disorders, New York said. The city said it also may cause cancer, which Exxon Mobil denies."
At last a bit of justice, although to them these millions are crumbs.

Not surprising in the least that Exxon would deny that ingestion of a chemical causes cancer. Do the people who work for their outfit even have souls?

if anybody knows anything before, Exxon will deny all cases of illnesses, and blame it on New Yorks polluted air. Maybe New York should take up medical marijuana...
