Residents who live within a half-mile radius of two art glass factories in Portland should not eat vegetables grown in their backyard over a risk that they might be packed with toxic metals, health officials said Thursday. The Oregon Public Health Division said vegetables grown close to Bullseye Glass in Southeast Portland and Uroboros Glass in North Portland could contain harmful levels of chromium, arsenic or cadmium.
