Un ejemplo de la politica de esta gente. El enlace funciona hay un rar con otros documentos de ip.
Jadial otro con descalificaciones, no me conoces, otro como yo asi nos luce el pelo... yo apoyo a la industria, pero no al lado de una zona residencial. Puedo parecer pesado pero con Arlita empezo siendo una fabrica que hacia simplemente bolas de arcilla y no contaminaba para acabar siendo una incineradora de residuos muy toxicos.
Community Surrounding International Paper Company
375 MUSCOGEE RD., CANTONMENT, FL 32533
The community in Cantonment, Florida is subjected to toxic releases from the International Paper (IP) facility on a daily basis. Some three thousand residents are living within the same Census tract (number 12033003700) as the plant itself. These citizens are not only exposed to the plumes of Acetaldehyde, Mercury and dioxins raining down from IP, but they are also burdened by at least ten other facilities within just twenty miles of their homes, schools, churches and parks.
Along with IP, the Cantonment community discussed here is within ten miles of Gulf Power and Solutia Inc., and within twenty miles of Arizona Chemical Company, Reichhold Inc., the U.S. Navy Pensacola Navy Air Station, Pall Membrane Tech Center, and GE Generators. All of these facilities pour out between 5 and 25,500,247 pounds of toxic emissions annually.
In 2007 this community was ranked as a middle income neighborhood. The Census reports that the median income (broken down by age groups) ranged from $22,778 to $40,000 annually, with the young (under 25 years old) and senior citizens (over 65 years old) all listed in the lowest income brackets. All these facts seem to dismiss the true economic problems within the community. In 1999 there were 120 families and 525 individuals living below the poverty line. Almost half (41.5%) of the households in this community were making less than $25,000 a year in 1999. The poverty line is one way of measuring the income of a community, but it is also important to remember the definitions of these poverty thresholds. In 1999 when these Census reports on poverty were conducted, an individual making more than $8,667 (or $7,990 if 65 years or older) would not be listed under the poverty line. Add a child to a two person household and that number jumps to only $11,483 (or $11,440 if 65 or older.)
The burdens placed on a community like this are staggering. Not only do they have to contend with the everyday life of poverty, but they also have to come home to a community where they and their families are placed at risk to cancer, heart disease and asthma as well as other developmental and reproductive disorders. Along with the extreme nuisance of uninvited health risks, neighbors in and around Cantonment are subjected to the noxious odors caused by the constant outpouring of toxic chemicals. Many young residents do not even leave the community regularly enough to enjoy a breath of fresh air. If they are too young for school they are either at home all day or in a nearby daycare center. Even if they are attending elementary or high school, those schools are also located near IP and other polluting facilities. Similarly, citizens who are out of work or retired are also subjected to twenty four hours a day of toxic inhalations.
The health risks to this community are severely magnified by the constant outpour of recognized and suspected developmental toxicants, gastrointestinal and liver toxicants, kidney toxicants, neurotoxicants, respiratory toxicants, skin and sense organ toxicants, carcinogens, immunotoxicants, cardiovascular and blood toxicants, reproductive toxicants, endocrine toxicants, and musculoskeletal toxicants from neighboring industrial facilities.
CATE’s own monitoring around the IP facility demonstrated elevated exposure to Ammonia, Nitric Oxide, Ozone, alpha-Pinene, Dimethyl Sulfide, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Methyl Mercaptan.
