My objection...was to the...wordsmithing...employed to justify the ongoing fouling of the atmosphere.......... A close friend died of lung /brain cancer 2 years back....not a tobacco related death she lived less than 1/2 mile from a power plant..... the causal victims ..(collateral damaged........) from this...Toxic Trespass deserve...better..imo Radioactive and non-radioactive emissions from coal-fired power plants most strongly affect those living and working near the plant. The hazards associated with radioactive emissions are similar to those of other pollutants. Steps taken to reduce exposure to non-radioactive air pollutants also will reduce exposure to radioactive pollutants. On days when the Air Quality Index (AQI) indicates dangerous or higher than average concentrations of air pollutants, follow recommendations ....stay indoors
