The year was 1994, during the Clinton administration. US Dept of Defense was required to report to citizens the amount of toxic emissions released in the air by military facilities and contractors. The TOP TEN toxin-emitting
military bases/places were found to be doing over 52% of the damage to our nation's air that was done by the military.
Vought - Dallas was number 6 on the top ten list-for the nation.
Lord help us...I sometimes wondered why the air wasn't tested at Mountain Creek Lake and if the Vought facility was really as toxic as the water in the lake indicated.
Now I know.
Of course, emission levels may be improved now, but to what extent? and whose health has already been affected?
By the way a Lockheed-Martin site in another state had a worse record than Vought!
Location: Dallas, Texas Topics: Dallas Naval Air Station, NWIRP, Mountain Creek Lake, oil and gas drilling, Oak Cliff industry and environment. WHY DOES OAK CLIFF HAVE TWICE THE BREAST CANCER RATE COMPARED TO THE REST OF TEXAS?
