@Risk: School Haze: Air Pollution Near California SchoolsEnvironmental Working GroupURL: http://www.ewg.org/@ risk/sc hoolhaze/home.html | |
| More
than 245 million pounds of industrial air pollution were emitted near
California
schools in 1995, according to the most recent available state and federal
data
analyzed by Environmental Working Group (EWG). Fully half of the state's
schoolchildren, in public and private schools, attended class within a
mile of
reported air emissions of chemicals known to cause cancer, reproductive
damage,
developmental disabilities or respiratory illness. School Haze allows parents to see exactly what toxic chemicals are being emitted near their kids' school, the leading source of the pollution and how their school compares to others. The report is available for download in a PDF format; emissions data can also be accessed online by state, county, or individual school. |
