As a coffee drinker, I declare Gutav's death a just one.

The toxic property reminded me of a PA Doctor with a sideline of coating needles with Radium. He had a lot of sand in his cellar he used as shielding, but over time it became pretty contaminated. He replaced the sand from time to time selling the old sand to local masonry contractors who made mortar to build brick houses or plaster walls. The Doctor and his family all died off with cancer and when the feds figured it all out, instant super-fund site in the neighborhood. They carted off the house and about 6 or 8 feet of topsoil in barrels.
