AmandaI thought this article was going to be about another hazardous contaminant in city soil - kind of tongue in cheek (if you can forgive the metaphor).
Namely, pet feces, especially dogs. A son was just mentioning it to me. With so many pet owners and so much todo about cleaning up after them, many dog walkers think they have kind of a freebee when it comes to what their dogs do in city parks and greenery.
Not so!
