re: #66 lawhawk

My town has a superfund site due to dry cleaning chemicals contaminating the local wells. A few towns over, there’s a superfund site for hexavalent Chromium. A few towns over from that, a radium watch factory. Northern NJ has all kinds of these sites, because companies didn’t care how they handled various toxic chemicals and materials, and now we’re living with the consequences.

Reducing exposures to heavy metals can help improve lives and public health. Reducing lead exposure can help improve education outcomes and potentially reduce crime.

But the EPA under the GOP and Trump are busy trying to gut existing protections, and enable polluters to dump their wastes on communities already burdened by pollution.

Well, you live in Jersey, which is kinda like Houston. It’s not where the Superfund sites are, It’s trying to find where they aren’t.
