The Toronto pro­pane blast’s impact on property values and long-term mental and physical health topped the list of concerns brought by anxious residents to an information session yesterday held by lawyers leading a class action suit.

The estimated $300 million suit against Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases and the City of Toronto is one of five or six being launched in the wake of the blast on Murray Road.

Harvin Pitch of the Toronto law firm Stevensons LLP told some 300 people gathered in the Days Hotel conference room that the legal firms have agreed to work together to bring the defendants to the table.

The lawyers told residents they are in the process of recruiting experts on property values, propane gas and health issues as well as experts who can conduct air tests.
