Kilns Pollute!
There is a cement making plant in Chanute, Kansas that is being watched because it is making the towns people concerned because they aren't sure what is causing so many adults and children to become sick with asthma, cancer, etc. Also, people are beginning to speculate that the cement plant isn't being tested on a regular basis for how much gases are being released into the air, most concern is coming from the people who live downwind from the plant. I think that the allegations are true that the plant most likely hasn't been tested for the Mercury in the air and other various gases because the man that was in the audio interview seemed very irritated and angry at the situation so that must mean that he knows most of what the people are saying is true. I also think that the ones who are responsible are the EPA for not testing it as frequently as it should be tested and needs to be tested. I think that that the way to bring this situation is to have the plant tested as frequently as possible and have the reports in the papers so that people know what is going on. Also they should have to pay a certain amount of money a month for the amount of money it will take to dispose of the waste.
