Opposition to the proposed asphalt plant in Napanee Ontario. I live very close to this area. Asphalt plants are known to produce toxic air pollutants, including arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, and cadmium, that may cause cancer, central nervous system problems, liver damage, respiratory problems and skin irritation…. The safe distance varies according to the type of industry, the emitted chemicals, and the speed and extent of the air pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, and could range from 3-3.5 km aerial distance.
Can’t see how this is a good place to build an asphalt plant.
