The series of events focused on promoting pos- itive body image through online articles, poster making, sharing experiences about eating dis- order recovery, clothing drives, events and fundraisers. Throughout the presentation, event coordinators Traci Ayub, a first-year master’s student at the School of Public Health, and LSA senior Rachael Ankley encour- aged the audience to talk about current issues society is facing regarding the portrayal of body image and eating disorders. One student commented on the large volume of body image stories focused around adoles- cent girls and younger women and the lack of stories about the transition to adulthood and beyond, where she said these issues remain a major concern. Another student highlighted the sensationalized way losing weight is treated, which they said leaves out the emotional struggle that those affected by eating dis- orders might go through. Ayub and Ankley emphasized those issues in their presenta- tion, along with several other topics, such as the prevalence eating disorders in marginalized social and ethnic groups. In par- ticular, Ayub discussed the feel- ing of being alone that she said members of this group may expe- rience, along with fears about being accepted by their peers. “We started mentioning sto- ries about men, stories about people of color, stories about those in the LGBT community... anything that wasn’t that typical story about the white woman,” Ayub said. “That is an important story, but it is being told already. It’s just that there are not a lot of identities talked about in terms of eating disorders.” The presentation also explained several underly- ing concerns in the treatment of eating disorders. One of the most common ways individuals with eating disorders suffer in everyday life, they said, is from comments of others about their image. “You can’t tell if somebody is healthy looking at them,” Ayub said. “And a lot of times, we try to police people of a certain weight. You’re not really helping them. They are aware of their health status. They have seen a doc- tor; they know whether they are healthy or not.” The coordinators also pre- sented facts about eating disor- ders. Approximately 28 percent of women and 10 percent of men at the University who were screened in a U-SHAPE survey were found to have an eating dis- See DIET, Page 3 Council to address possible dioxane contamination in A2 groundwater Work session to feature remarks from Dept. of Environmental Quality By BRIAN KUANG Daily Staff Reporter Ann Arbor City Council will hear the Michigan Department of Envi- ronmental Quality’s plans for mov- ing forward with the plume of toxic 1,4-dioxane in the city’s groundwa- ter during a Monday working ses- sion. The contaminated plume — located underground in Scio Town- ship and Ann Arbor, and creeping toward the Huron River, which is where the city’s drinking water is drawn from — was caused by Gel- man Sciences’ improper disposal of 1,4-dioxane from 1966 to 1986. Pall Corporation, which acquired Gel- man in 1997, is the company cur- rently liable for the contamination. Public scrutiny on this issue was re-energized in recent months by the Flint water crisis, and local lead- ers have been clamoring for DEQ to take a harder stance. In a Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners meeting earlier this month, DEQ representative Robert Wagner said state regulations and legal settlements dictate Pall is only required to “risk manage,” rather than clean, the dioxane plume. According to the City Council meeting agenda, Pall Corporation was invited to give a presentation at the meeting but will not be attend- ing. Councilmember Sabra Briere (D–Ward 1) said her first priority is to learn how soon DEQ’s cleanup guidelines for 1,4-dioxane will be revised. With revised guidelines, Briere hopes that further legal action could be taken against Pall Corporation to compel a more thor- ough monitoring and cleanup sys- tem. The current DEQ standard for 1,4-dioxane is 85 parts per billion in groundwater, despite EPA stan- dards saying 3.5 parts per billion is carcinogenic. Ann Arbor has been- pushing for the revision of DEQ standards for the past three years. Wagner hadassured the Washt- enaw County Board of Commission- ers that revised standards would be released soon despite unforeseen delays in releasing them in the past. “Once we have (revised stan- dards), the city and the county are in a position to go to the courts, and ask the courts to enforce to that standard instead of the 85 parts per billion,” Briere said. “That allows us to open up the entire discussion about how the enforcement works, what the cleanup looks like, how effective the cleanup needs to be.” She added that she thought that the current agreement between the state and Pall Corporation over- whelmingly favors Pall. “Unlike every other major pol- lution issue in this state, the state of Michigan is paying for this, not the polluter,” Briere said. “All the time that the DEQ spends on this is See CITY, Page 3 AMANDA ALLEN/Daily The Wavves perform at the Majestic Theater in Detroit on Tuesday.
