Dioxin was found at four more sites in Missouri, EPA officials said. One of the sites was a mobile home park where some Times Beach residents moved after their dioxin-contaminated town was found unfit to live in. The discoveries, by Environmental Protection Agency investigators, bring to 26 the number of places in Missouri where the presence of the toxin has been confirmed. Seventy-three others are under investigation.
