Get the Facts: Health Impacts of Cement Kiln Pollution
Titan's plant would have wide-ranging effects on public health in our area, especially on at-risk populations such as children, the elderly, and those with existing conditions. A wealth of medical literature is increasingly associating exposure to pollutants such as fine particulates and ozone with the rise in children diagnosed asthma, autism spectrum disorder, and other conditions. However, Titan's air permit allows them to be significant emitters of a suite of other pollutants, including toxic chemicals such as mercury, benzene, and lead.
