Why are there hotspots of health problems, diseases?
Could we reduce cancer rates with environmental remediation? New drug formulas? New non-invasive therapies to avoid high risk surgeries?
Is a major cause of cancer actually certain forms of PFAS and airborne pollution, chemicals? Are there circular economy and technology solutions for pollution reduction, remediation?
August 2023 Metal Shredder High Pollution Event
Radius Recycling pollution event
This event shows how far ongoing day-to-day pollution impacts beyond a one mile radius.
"AIR DISTRICT monitoring data shows that on August 9, 2023, hourly concentrations of PM sized 2.5 microns or smaller (“PM2.5”) increased sharply from 3 µg/m3 during the 5:00 p.m. hour to 266 µg/m3 during the 6:00 p.m. hour at the Laney College monitoring site, downwind when the fire started. Hourly PM2.5 concentrations increased at other

Hourly PM2.5 concentrations increased at other AIR DISTRICT other monitoring sites on August 10, 2023, as winds shifted and transported smoke to additional locations. Peak hourly PM2.5 concentrations on August 10, 2023, reached 94 µg/m3 at the Oakland – West monitoring site, 47 µg/m3 at the San Pablo monitoring site, 35 µg/m3 at the Pleasanton monitoring site, and 26 µg/m3 at the Livermore monitoring site."

This is why proper site and fenceline dust contamination capture and reduction is really important for public health. To both help prevent ongoing, 24/7, recycling emissions dust pollution entering the community along with reducing the potential of major emissions events, such as fires.
Prevention and remediation of ongoing airborne ASR residue, which is highly toxic, should be a priority in permitting these types of facilities. Such as being proposed in California by updating hazardous waste facility permitting criteria for additional community protections.
