The stuff that will spew out of the Titan smokestacks injures and kills. That is a fact. No bullying tactics like lawsuits will make that go away.
“A growing body of evidence links chronic exposure to air pollution––especially particulate matter (PM)––with mortality resulting from a variety of heart, lung, and respiratory diseases. A new study corroborates this association, and indicates that women may be at greater risk than men of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) as a result of exposure to airborne PM [EHP 113:1723–1729]. When ozone (O3) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) is also present, women’s risk appears even greater.”
* Titan’s proposed PM emissions would result in an increase in existing PM pollution for NH County by an estimated 33 %.
* Titan’s proposed PM10 emissions would result in an increase in existing PM10 pollution for NH County by an estimated 33 %.
* Titan’s proposed PM2.5 would result in an increase in existing PM2.5 pollution for NH County by an estimated 37%.
* Titan’s proposed NOx emissions would result in an increase in existing NOx pollution for NH County by an estimated 29%.
* Titan’s proposed Carbon Monoxide emissions would result in an increase in existing Carbon Monoxide pollution for NH County by an estimated 22%.
* Titan’s proposed Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions would result in an increase in existing VOC pollution for NH County by an estimated 20%.
* Titan’s proposed SO2 emissions would result in an increase in existing SO2 pollution for NH County by an estimated 2%.*
