grain dust is killing my neighborhood

  • by: Brittney Ray

The mold and bacteria that grows on corn during storage when being processed by grain elevators and put into semis is released in the air and that dust can cause major health problems like FHP and ODTS. My family personally has experienced days upon days of headaches and even flu like symptoms. The grain dust is so thick that it covers my car and house windows so much that they have to be washed almost on a daily basis. I look outside some days and it looks like snow! The health concerns of grain dust is very well known by OSHA but only protects the employees who are working there for eight hours a day, what about my family? Who is there to protect us and our neighbors who are exposed to the grain dust hazards 24-7? All we want is to have an official examination into the real health risks of the Lyle's station community.
