Air quality in
North Texas has been deemed unfit for breathing by the Environmental
Protection Agency. While the state environmental agency (TCEQ) has
asked for citizens to do their part to help clear the air, the state has
been negligent in asking the smoggiest North Texas contributors to do their
fair share.
The largest
industrial polluters lie just south of Dallas in Midlothian, Texas.
While the state has given the impression that the air stops at the Ellis and
Dallas County line we know this just ain't so.
Downwinders at Risk
has actively worked toward cleaning up these industrial sources, to improve
regional air quality, and to help write the Citizen's Implementation Plan.
All North Texas residents are "downwind" of the Midlothian Industrial
Complex, hence the organization's name Downwinders at Risk
Throughout this
site is a slew of information on cement kilns and North Texas Air Pollution
Problems. Enjoy.
