Community Pollution

Very in-depth wealth of information.
I guarantee upon punching your specific zip code in
you'll personally be disgusted with the knowledge of the contamination in your neighborhood.

I learned:
-in 2002 my county ranked among the dirtiest/worst counties in the U.S. in terms of air releases

-chromium compounds rank highest among cancer causing agents
these are most prevalent at the Salem Harbor Power plant & GE Aircraft Engines

This was really the tip of the iceberg in terms of the waste which coats my community
and it would sicken me to divulge any further info I received in my personal report.
Definitely find out for yourself and if possible get involved.
