Everyone should know the facts about this dangerous incident. And IP shouldn't be allowed to poison the area without people speaking out on the atrocities. 429SCJ, just because your health and financial well being isn’t tied to a job at the IP plant doesn’t mean you should quietly lay down and not express your opinion.

Trump has been in office 5 days and you already know what he is going to do. Please pick my Powerball numbers for me since you can see into the future. He appointed a Director of the EPA, so not sure how that eliminates it. During the multiple Industrial Factory explosions or incidents during the Obama years, did you ever once ask what he was going to do about it? Probably not. Since the toxic fumes are such a troubling situation for you, you may need to relocate just to be safe. James Broel, making a false statement.

We have a President who wants to bring in cabinet members pro-industry and actively seeking to abolish the EPA. We may have laws to protect people right this moment but those elites in office would like to eliminate evironmental agencies that help promote clean air, clean water and protection of irresponsible industry to safety. I'm not so sure IP will do what's right unless people demand it. Other posters have already posted toxins used in this manufacturing process. This just doesn't add up as safe to be near.

You couldn’t breathe and being outdoors was terrible during P.E. class. We may never know the health impacts to the community from the paper mill. Or the long term effects on the environment. Sir: that mill has been there since the 50's and btw ransom middle school used to be on muscoggee rd right behind the mill not miles from the mill. I went there n the 80's and I am perfectly fine and I know people in their 70' and 80's that grew up around there also and they are fine. So go figure. Just throwing my thoughts out there. So everybody quit bashing the mill. If they done something wrong they will make it right. They have laws in place for industries to follow.

If they are wearing gas masks with air tanks, then get worried.
