Admittedly, I couldn't find a precise source used by the dissertation stating that "biological simulants" other zinc cadmium sulfide were sprayed specifically on St. Louis. One of the references isn't available online. It might also have been a source that was overlooked in the references.
Anyway, it's 2024 now, and more information has come to light. Martino-Taylor's 2011 belief has been confirmed. US News reported [1] on the situation as recently as September 2023, quoting a member of the House of Representatives acknowledging that it really did happen:
"Democratic U.S. Rep. Cori Bush of St. Louis said in a statement that she and her staff "are currently looking into alternative pathways that the federal government can take to ensure those impacted by the spraying of radioactive compounds and biochemicals in Pruitt-Igoe are also addressed.”"
