Lub Chaw Saib Xyuas Kev Tiv Thaiv Ib puag ncig tshiab tau tsim los txhawm rau txhawm rau txhawm rau ua pa phem los ntawm Asmeskas cov tuam txhab steel los ntawm kev txwv cov pa phem xws li mercury, benzene thiab txhuas uas tau ua rau huab cua ntev ntev hauv cov zej zog nyob ib puag ncig cov nroj tsuag.
Cov cai tswj cov khoom paug tawm los ntawm cov chaw steel 'coke ncu. Cov pa roj los ntawm qhov cub ua rau muaj kev pheej hmoo mob qog noj ntshav hauv huab cua ib puag ncig cov nroj tsuag steel ntawm 50 hauv 1,000,000, uas cov kws tshaj lij kev noj qab haus huv tau hais tias muaj kev phom sij rau menyuam yaus thiab cov neeg muaj teeb meem kev noj qab haus huv.
Cov tshuaj tsis tau mus deb ntawm cov nroj tsuag, tab sis cov neeg tawm tswv yim hais tias lawv tau ua phem rau pej xeem kev noj qab haus huv hauv "fenceline" cov neeg tau nyiaj tsawg nyob ib puag ncig cov chaw steel, thiab sawv cev rau qhov teeb meem kev ncaj ncees ib puag ncig.
Patrice Simms, Earthjustice tus lwm thawj tswj hwm rau cov zej zog noj qab haus huv tau hais tias "Cov tib neeg tau ntsib kev pheej hmoo loj rau kev noj qab haus huv ntev, zoo li mob qog noj ntshav, vim yog coke qhov cub ua pa phem," Cov kev cai yog "tseem ceeb heev rau kev tiv thaiv cov zej zog thiab cov neeg ua haujlwm nyob ze ntawm lub qhov cub coke".

Ntau yam tshuaj muaj feem xyuam rau cov teeb meem kev noj qab haus huv loj, suav nrog eczema hnyav, teeb meem ua pa thiab plab hnyuv.
Thaum muaj pov thawj ntxiv ntawm cov pa roj toxicity nyob rau hauv xyoo tas los no, EPA tau ua me ntsis los tuav cov pa phem, cov neeg thuam hais tias.

Cov kev cai, tshaj tawm rau hnub Friday, yuav tsum tau kuaj "fenceline" nyob ib ncig ntawm cov nroj tsuag, thiab, yog tias pom muaj cov kab mob sib kis tau dhau qhov kev txwv tshiab, cov neeg tsim khoom hlau yuav tsum txheeb xyuas qhov chaw thiab nqis tes ua kom txo qis.
Cov kev cai tseem tshem tawm cov kev lag luam uas tau siv yav dhau los kom tsis txhob tshaj tawm emissions, xws li zam kev txwv tsis pub dhau lub sijhawm ua haujlwm tsis zoo.
Kev sim sab nraum lub cog Pittsburgh ua los ntawm US Steel, ib lub teb chaws cov neeg tsim khoom loj tshaj plaws, pom cov qib ntawm benzene, carcinogen, uas yog 10 npaug siab dua li cov kev txwv tshiab. Ib tus neeg hais xov xwm Asmeskas Steel tau hais rau Allegheny Front cov cai yuav ua tsis tau zoo los siv thiab yuav muaj "tus nqi uas tsis tau muaj dua thiab muaj feem cuam tshuam rau ib puag ncig tsis zoo".
"Tus nqi yuav yog qhov tsis tau muaj dua los thiab tsis paub vim tias tsis muaj pov thawj kev tswj hwm thev naus laus zis rau qee yam huab cua phem," tus cev lus tau hais.

Lee hais tias "Kuv pom tias nws nyuaj rau ntseeg [qhov txwv] yuav nyuaj ua tau raws li," Lee hais.
