Do you or someone you love live near a coal ash dumps site?

Do you or someone you love live near a coal ash dumps site? If so the risks are in fact said by experts to be:
"coal ash spill in Tennessee devastated the surrounding area, was 100 times worse than the Exxon-Valdez spill".

The chemicals released to the environment and those passing by these sites daily are Arsenic, Lead, Selenium, Boron, Cadmium, Cobalt of of which contribute to undoubtedly give cancers.

Senate has been barred by the department from Homeland Security from sharing the master list of the worst. We are not barred. Would you like to share?

I'm not associated with or affiliated with any of the truther groups or even environmentalist. I'm sort of a litterbug I guess and wouldn't be able to refer to myself as an environmentalist. The info within are from news sources credible and not myself.

We are entitled to talk about this and have avoidance of going there. How do we not move to one of those sites?
If you are about to choose a home to buy checking the free database of slurry dams to avoid would be the best route.

The persons there of course need assistance by gov. to cleanup spills.

COAL ASH POLLUTION: THE HEALTH/ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS

* Arsenic. Ingesting arsenic, even in low doses, through drinking water or by eating fish in which arsenic has bioaccumulated, can cause nausea, vomiting, decreased production of red and white blood cells, abnormal heart rhythm, damage to blood vessels, and a sensation of 'pins and needles' in hands and feet.
* Lead. The detrimental health effects of lead are well known. No safe blood level has been identified for lead, making it one of the most toxic constituents of coal waste. Because children absorb lead more easily than adults, lead levels of 10 micrograms or more in a deciliter of blood can damage ability to learn. At blood levels greater than or equal to 25 micrograms per deciliter, lead exposure can cause damage to the kidneys, blood and nervous system. At very high levels, lead poisoning can cause mental retardation, coma, convulsions or death Lead ranks second after arsenic on the 2007 CERCLA Priority List of Hazardous Substances.
* Selenium. Short term oral exposure to high concentrations of selenium causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, while chronic exposure to "mildly excessive" concentrations can lead to selenosis, a condition resulting in brittle hair, deformed nails and numbness in the limbs. Selenium causes respiratory and liver damage in animals and may affect reproduction in farm animals. Moreover, because selenium bioaccumulates in plants, farm animals are particularly susceptible to toxic effects from selenium ingestion. Selenium ranks 147th out of 275 toxic constituents on the 2007 CERCLA Priority List of Hazardous Substances.
* Boron. Exposure to large amounts of boron (about 30 grams of boric acid) over short periods of time can affect the stomach, intestines, liver, kidney and brain and can eventually lead to death. Boron can also bioaccumulate in plants, and is therefore ingested in fruits and vegetables as well as in drinking water. Boron is also known to be highly toxic to plants and algae, inhibiting growth, protein content, chlorophyll content and photosynthesis.
* Cadmium. The CDC Third National Report Spotlight on cadmium states that, "exposure to low levels of cadmium in air, food [and]… water over time may build up cadmium in the kidneys and may cause kidney disease," and that long-term effects of cadmium exposure also include fragile bones. Moreover, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the International Agency for Research on Cancer have determined that cadmium and cadmium compounds are known human carcinogens and EPA has determined that cadmium is a probable human carcinogen. Cadmium is listed 7th on the 2007 CERCLA Priority List of Hazardous Substances.
* Cobalt. Exposure to high levels of cobalt can result in lung and heart effects and dermatitis. Liver and kidney damage are also possible. Moreover, cobalt from CCW is especially dangerous to human health in the environment when co-disposed with coal refuse because its mobility increases under more acidic conditions. Cobalt ranks 49th on the 2007 CERCLA Priority List of Hazardous Substances. [link to www.earthjustice.org]
