did it say where it was coming from? i'd guess the power plant. that's
a coal burner isn't it?
sure it's relative. they're ranked by weight, but there's lots of
factors between that and exposure risk: toxicity, dispersion, weather,
population density, etc.
interesting though to see what the govt's own figures can tell you when
they are actually shared in a usable manner. note that it's not govt
but a non-profit that makes this site available.
who has the zipcodes for Love Canal? or Newark for that matter...
