Prevent the poultry industry's toxic secrecy

 

 

 

 

The poultry industry wants you in the dark about the toxic air

emissions their facilities release. Specifically, they don't want to

report how much ammonia they emit into the air, as normally required

under Superfund and the Emergency Planning & Community Right to Know

Act (EPCRA). " Knowledge is power " and the last thing that these giant

poultry and egg operations want is for communities to be empowered to

protect themselves.

 

Ammonia gas not only emits a strong stench, but is also considered an

" Extremely Hazardous " substance under Superfund law. Ammonia from

factory farms is associated with respiratory diseases, like asthma,

and neurological disorders. Stop the poultry and egg industries from

being able to hide communities' exposure to toxic chemicals! Take

Action here!

 

Thank you,
