ARSENIC
BENZENE
CADMIUM
CHROMIUM
FORMALDEHYDE
HYDROGEN SULFIDE
POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

The asphalt plant proposed by Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. will burn SOFT COAL which releases another known toxin, SULPHUR DIOXIDE.
These chemicals are released into the air and attach to small dust particles which we breathe in, posting a great risk to our children, elderly residents, and those residents with asthma or chronic lung or heart disease.
They can cause the following ailments:
CANCER (esp. Lung Cancer)
Respiratory Distress
Nervous System Damage
Pulmonary Edema
Anemia
Headaches
Nausea
Impaired Memory and Motor Function
Irritation to Eyes, Nose, Lungs, Skin, which can result in various Cancers!
ANY amount of these toxic emissions released into our community is an Unacceptable Risk to our community!
