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...
