HAWAII sludge victims Back to Home Page
HAWAII - Ralph Natale firmly believes daily exposure of his 12 year old son Nicky for several months to a
sewage sludge stockpile at his school caused his death. Nicky’s symptoms started with headaches,
vomiting, sore throats and respiratory problems -- common complaints after sludge exposure. Pain
developed in the right side of his neck, a lump was discovered behind his ear, and Nicky was diagnosed
with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare malignant soft tissue muscle tumor which took his life.. A lawsuit is
being prepared.
